Sams Club gas is really cheap, but the way i saved gas is know my routes for that day and move forward with them. Watch the gas mileages and understand how much you are burning at the same time. Works for me!

I will have to check out Gas Buddy too. Since I have a Blackberry with nationwide coverage (data plan only), I am wondering if I can use this to help wherever I go.

Susan, I live about 10 miles from work and I just go to work and go home. I just moved where I live now and don’t really know the people here…so I don’t go out.

Plus it is a really small town so there is nothing to do anyway.

I do a little bit of shopping at CVS and it on the way from work so I can just stop. The majority of my shopping is at Walmart, which is one mile from my home…so not much driving for me at all.

Wow, that’s not much! I think between my husband and I, it’s about $400 a month.

@ Dividends:
Well make sure you check it out and see if people are updating prices in your area and then go ahead and save some money if the cheaper gas is near you.

@ PassiveFamilyIcome:
Hypermiling is a method of changing your driving habits in order to maximize your fuel efficiency.

It involves a lot of different things like coasting, neutral shifting, load lightening etc and I will talk about the methods I use in a later post.

I have never used gasbuddy but will be checking it out. What exactly is hypermiling? I have never heard of that term before.

I use that site also. I usually fill up at the cheapest station that is close to me or on my way to work or shopping. It’s not worth it to drive out of the way to save .02. I use gasbuddy mainly to post prices in my area as I don’t live close to the really really cheap prices listed in Tampa.
I also do a little hypermiling.

I utilize gas buddy and will use them to help plan a summer trip to Disneyland. I also wrote about hypermiling in my blog and even tried using some aspects for one week. It did help my mileage, but it does take some work. I really enjoyed reading your blog and am glad you chose my blog to advertise on entrecard.

Thank you
