Gas Prices are Soaring: Ways to Save Money on Gas

(Bernie Carr) Gas prices are rising again, and it’s getting really hard to find extra money to cover the higher cost. I get a sick feeling in my stomach having to pay ever increasing prices to fill the tank.

Ways to save

Carpool

The tried and true method should come back in style again; not that it ever really disappeared – carpooling. If you commute to work, join a carpool or van pool and save money. You may even get to park closer and save money on parking fees as well.

If you drive your children to school, trade off with other parents nearby (whom you trust) in dropping off and picking up.

There’s an app for that

I use GasBuddy to shop for the lowest gas prices wherever I go. It has come in handy for road trips as well.

Change your driving habits

Even though you think you may be set your ways, now is the time to make some changes in your driving habits. See our previous article 13 Driving Tips to Save Money on Gas.

Use rewards points

I joined my supermarket rewards program and apply my points to gas savings. Be sure to read the fine print, as points do expire, and may have exclusions.

Check the locations of the gas stations where you can apply the points. Sometimes, there may not be locations that are close enough to you, or may be in bad neighborhoods which would not be worth it.

Map out your route for maximum savings

Use Google Maps and plan out your errands before you go. This way you can also do your errands all at once: visit the bank that’s closest to the grocery store, do your shopping then drop off your dry cleaning on the way home.

Cut down the frequency of your trips

I used to shop for groceries weekly, but now I only go once every two weeks. Do all your errands in as few trips as possible. Yes, you will be staying home a lot more, but you also won’t be tempted to spend while you’re out.

Keep your car properly serviced

One thing you can’t skimp on is keeping your car in good condition. With low inventory and high prices for new and used cars, you can’t let car maintenance go by the wayside. Keeping your car well-maintained also helps save gas.

Should you store gasoline?

Some people are considering storing gasoline before prices rise again. However, not everyone can safely store gas, especially if you live in an apartment. Most renters don’t have the room, leases do not allow it, even if you have a designated garage.

If you are able to store gas, make sure it is kept in EPA compliant containers and use a stabilizer such as Sta-bil.  Do not store your emergency supplies or near a gasoline storage container, as gas fumes may ruin your storage.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?

The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
