11 TIPS FOR SAVING ON GAS!!

The most popular gas rebate cards are offered by Discover®, Chase, and American Express®. Refer to the charts to your right for a comparison of current offers and links to their online applications.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION

CAR MAINTENANCE
Routine maintenance will ensure that your engine not only performs well but goes a long way in conserving your fuel usage.
EXTRA WEIGHT
Are you carrying any unnecessary items in your vehicle? Removing "dead weight" can increase your gas mileage by as much as 2% for every 100 pounds you remove.
OBSERVE SPEED LIMITS
Drive at the speed limit. You don't get better gas mileage if you speed. Drive the limit, and drive at a consistent speed. You should take care to follow all the posted speed limits so that you do not have to speed up or slow down suddenly.
GET CASH BACK
Some credit card providers offer a cash back reward for gas and auto maintenance purchases, as well as other purchases made with the card.
AVOID EXCESSIVE IDLING
Avoid warming up your car engine for too long, even when it is cold outside. Your owner's manual will tell you how long you should warm up your car. This action results in gas being wasted.

I don't get why people are complaining about the price of gas. I can understand why people who are poor can't afford it, but those same people aren't doing anything to conserve. Why don't you start driving 55 on the freeway instead of 75? 20 mph will save about 30% on gas. I haven't done any experiments, but the last week I have been meticulously driving 10 mph under the speed limit, and it has save me at least 2-3 gallons per fill up.
