Most American and Canadian adults own or have access to their own vehicle and use it by themselves on a regular basis. You can pick up a good used bike for under $100 and stop paying for gasoline and emitting noxious gases. They are incredibly fuel-efficient, cheap to buy and insure, and emit way less pollution than automobiles do.

After much fighting with me, he had me on the phone, in the driveway, with the hood popped and I’m pretty sure I was bawling because he was asking me to use a wrench. He walked me through the steps of changing a fuel filter on the phone. High gas prices got you down? Do you do any of your own car maintenance?

That is a HUGE savings, and especially as gas prices soar, I’m glad that I have the Prius to drive around in right now.

We always *intend* to use our leftovers but they usually end up in the back of the fridge, to be discovered only when it’s too late. We won’t be eating out AT ALL but I do have a couple of free drink rewards from Starbucks that I plan to use strategically. I then used that cash to buy coffee, milk, and eggs. It was a win-win!

The term “eco-driving” refers to the energy-efficient use of automobiles. In fact, due to driver demand, car manufacturers are providing drivers with easy-to-use tools that measure driving efficiency. However, none of these tools will help drivers that intentionally or unintentionally sabotage their own fuel economy.

The oil and gas industry still has well over 64 million acres of land that has been granted to them to explore on – which they have not even started using. Why would we permit more exploration when they have not even used so much of what we already granted them? More drilling does not equal lower prices at the pump.

5 nights at Port Orleans Riverside Royal Rooms (used the current 20% room discount ). Based on current gas prices, it will cost appx. I’ve already cashed out for $200 in FREE gas cards, so that leaves appx. 350 in fuel costs. I will use my pennies to get more silver back, but never spend my silver.
