Lets spend a few days on ways to save at the gas pump. Most people drive nowadays (although my grandmother on my father's side lived into her 90s and never drove a day in her life). The average person drives 15,000 or so a year. For simplicity and illustrative purposes, we will stick with that 15,000 mile figure. If the average car gets 22 miles a gallon, that means that you would burn through 681.8 gallons of gas in a year.
15. Pay Cash At The Pump - Using a credit card is one of the ways that you can easily drive up your balance, and your interest rate. It takes a bit of planning to have the cash on hand, but it can be done. There are a series of gas stations in our area that offer a $0.03 discount per gallon of gas. Chump change. Perhaps, but it would save the average driver $20.45 a year, or $409.09 over 20 years. You have to keep the long term solution in mind here.
16. Keep Your Tires At The Proper Inflation Pressure - This is estimated to save up to $0.10 per gallon. Let's be conservative and call it a nickel a gallon. That would save you $34.09 a year or $681.82 over 20 years. Could you use an extra $1,000+ in your pocket for simple stuff?
