Do Gas Savers Work? Discover How To Save Money OnGas Save Dollars On Gasoline And Other Things I have been doing a bit of digging on the numerous tactics to save money and have discovered numerous valid ideas amongst the ones that are not so valuable. Ones that are not so good are those that are unrealistic ("pay off your credit cards now and save interest" which you would (have done if you were able to), lame (coupons and rebates and corny nonsense such as that) and too much of a sacrifice (take public transportation, etc) So, here are a few helpful ones... 1. SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES There are many things you can do to keep from spending more than necessary on food that will go bad or that will sit on the shelves forever. For example, never go grocery shopping when you are famished! Also, have a list so you don't "impulse buy" yourself into bankruptcy. Other ideas are to have a budget and at least attempt to come close (it's like the game "The Price Is Right" - if you go over you lose!), choose generic brands instead of brand name - it's really the same stuff, decide to drink water and never from the sink, and, most important, leave the kiddieshome with your spouse when you go grocery shopping for gawd's sake! 2. OPTIMIZE YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION A. Here is one that will surprise you...Roll up windows on highway. While most people think they're being smart by turning off the air-conditioner, it actually creates a considerable drag if you are driving fast with the windows down, and is worse for your gas economy. So, City Driving=windows down and A/C off and Highway Driving=windows up and A/C on. B. Don't buy hot gas and do park in the shade. Try to get gas when it is cool (morning or evening) so the gas is thicker and won't evaporate as quickly. And parking in the sun will cause gas to evaporate also. C. Try to avoid rush hour. Of course no one wants to go onto the 405 freeway and sit in a parking lot there. There is actually a reason why we call the driveway as the driveway and the parkway as the parkway!! But understand that as much as it is harmful to your internal temperature gauge it is also bad for your gas economy. D. Telecommute - It's good for the economy, it's good for traffic,it's good for the family, it's good in a lot of ways and many people are following this new trend. If you can work it out to land a job where you can work from home, do it! You will be happier, feel freer and more independent, and save cash on gasoline (and also on food as you are more likely todine out, waste money and get fat if you are working in an office than if you work at home)
