Even though state and county
officials suspended the gas taxes, energy experts say these prices will
continue to climb.
AAA says the following tips might help you
save a little at the pump:
- Wait until your gas gauge gets to a quarter tank before filling up in warmer weather. Your car gets better gas mileage with a lighter load, so they say keeping the tank full can waste money.
- Avoid filling up right before a holiday or weekend when gas prices tend to be higher.
- Plan ahead, try to map out a route and combine running errands to help limit your drive time.
- If you are an aggressive drivers, and have a heavy foot on the gas - learn to back off. AAA says you're burning more fuel.
- It's also important to shop around. Look for the cheapest prices near your home or work.
- Think about carpooling, even if it's a trip to the grocery store. Maybe you and your neighbors go at the same time.
