Save Money during High Gas Prices  
TIPS 

Tags: gas, money, cost, rich, save, driving, highway

Experts say that you could improve highway gas mileage by a 1/3 just by slightly tweaking driving tendencies - that is like saving $1 per gallon on a $3 per gallon fill-up. Here are some tips on how to save those dollars.

	Do not accelerate and brake so quickly - it burns more gas and just adds stress to your life.
	Use cruise control - keeping the car at a constant speed saves gas
	Drive less frequently - walking and bike riding can be healthy. Avoid the urge to drive when you don't need to
	Change/clean air filters on a regular basis
	Make sure your tires are fully inflated
	Don't carry extra weight in the back of that SUV or truck if you don't need it for the long drive
	Take advantage of grocery store chains that offer discounts for gas for goods you would purchase anyway (like milk, cheese, beer, cereal, etc.)
	Simply, relax behind the wheel. The biggest key of all. Taking your time saves gas.
	Car pool if possible, or use public transportation. It's a great chance to either chat with friends or catch up on reading.
