Gas Saving Tips - Lower Your Cost Of Gas
July 23, 2008
Prices on gas have reached record highs now. Rising gas prices are just about killing most of us. There are things you can do to lower your cost of gas. Here are two realistic methods to reduce your gas cost. While they are not exactly gas saving tips… that is, you won’t actually increase your mileage or improve gas mileage, they will nevertheless save you a lot of money at the pump.
The first is to get a Discover card and always use it when you get gas.
Why, you ask? Because the Discover card has a fantastic program that pays you back 5% of every penny you spend on gas. Just for using the Discover card, you save 5%. It’s called the Open Road Card.
Apply for the Discover® Open Road Card today!
Lets look at the savings for 6 months if you always buy gas with the Discover Card vs not using the Discover Open Road Card.
Assume we spend $100 a week on gas.
6 Months would be 26 weeks x $100 = $2600 cost without using the Discover card.
Now assume we use the Discover Card.
6 Months = 26 weeks x $100 = $2600 - $130 = $2470. (5% of $2600 = $130)
So, the question is, “If you can save $130 for doing absolutely nothing, Why Wouldn’t You?“
,BR> The second tip is to check out the website gasbuddy.com before you go to the gas station to get gas. Gasbuddy.com has a box where you can input your zip code or city, state or province (in the USA and Canada) and they will show you the cheapest gas for many of the filling stations in your area. Just choose the lowest price and you’ve saved some money. This is totally free and won’t cost you anything to use. While these tips might not give you better mileage, they will certainly reduce your gas cost!
