This past weekend we paid $2.10 a gallon in the hills of KY and then came back to pay $2.65 a gallon here in our part of Michigan.

I never thought...These are very good tips Belinda. <br />I never thought of buying 100% gas. I should look into that. Thank you. 😊<br />The biggest factor for me is living closer to work. I can use just one tank worth of gas for a month, if I don’t have out of town trips. Though I have a habit of filling up when it’s halfway empty.

Your list is very complete. Thank you ...Hi Belinda,<br />Your list is very complete. Thank you for this!<br /><br />On the use A/C vs. open windows, I've always heard that if you're driving below 45 MPH, then open windows is more fuel efficient than A/C. If your driving above 45 MPH, open windows create enough drag to cost more in gas use than A/C. Of course, just using the vents will beat either option. But I use this info for when the vents don't provide enough cooling. The other thing I do to boost my Kroger fuel rewards -- when our Kroger affiliate has a 4X fuel reward points on gift cards, I buy gift cards to use to make other purchases (like Home Depot cards). Buying 1 $25 Home Depot card will give me 10 additional cents off per gallon.<br /><br />Your list is very good and practical for implementation!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-63392814263051543352019-10-08T10:31:39.105-04:002019-10-08T10:31:39.105-04:00That's a great way to save on gas, Cheryl. :)That's a great way to save on gas, Cheryl. :)Belindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486895127003368291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225169024525576477.post-21578337626343723332019-10-08T10:09:04.092-04:002019-10-08T10:09:04.092-04:00Good post.
