Gas prices are going so high that right now it can really pay off to save some gas whenever possible.

One of the first things you might want to do is to check your car if something is inside that you can unload. The more stuff you have in your car, the more fuel you’ll need to drive it. And the more gas it uses, the bigger your gas bill. I DON’T want to encourage you tounload anything that you would meet in an emergency, like your first aid kit. Keep that in your car. But is there something that is not really necessary, maybe, something unneeded? If you are driving that around all the time you are paying excessive money for your gas.

Also plan your routes. That can make a really big difference. The more organized you are, the less money you’ll spend on gas.

For example, think if you can visit the doctor and do the groceries on the same route. If you do this you won’t have to drive two times back and forth. That can make a remarkable difference in your gas costs and in your wallet.

Another thing to do is to use Google maps, which are quick to use and an fast trick of evaluating what the shortest route is to go from A to B.

Intuitive driving, cruising around aimlessly with you isn’t something that you want to do these days anymore at the crazy gas prices. And in fact there’s another reason why not to do that, not just because it’s so expensive, but also because your car is emitting CO2 in the atmosphere. And while the gas prices may be painful on your budget now, global warming and the climate crisis can cause a lot of suffering for our children if we don’t do something about it now.
