Some Ways To Save On Gas That I Haven't Heard Before

You've probably heard most of these before, but with all the complaining going on about gas prices, I thought it was time to post tips on how to save money on gas again.

Many are common sense such as slowing down and not idling if you can help it, but did you know that every five miles per hour you drive over 60 costs you an additional 24 cents per gallon? Or that you should fill up your tank on Wednesday because gas prices usually go up on Thursday? And usually you're told NOT to use credit cards, but in this case you're encouraged to use gas cards due to the incentives they offer. As long as you pay them off quickly, of course.

Okay, so hope this helps a little anyway.
