12 Ways to Save Gas
 

1. Internet

Some websites post real-time gas prices. You may find the cheapest gas price
around your region on the web:

GasBuddy.com
GasPriceWatch.com

2. Cell Phone

If you send your zip code (postal code) to some companies, they will notify you
the cheapest gas price in your region by text message.

For example, gas@gasbuddy.com or sms@mobgas.com can send you real time gas prices.
The service is free if your cell phone plan covers text messaging.

3. Buy gas-saving cars, such as GAS-ELECTRIC hybrid.

4. Convert your car to run on WATER.

5. Try poor regions

The rich are not so sensitive to gas price changes as the poor. So usually gas prices in
poor regions are relatively lower.

6. Do not pour gas at gas stations close to highway or service bay.

7. The gas prices are more expensive at gas stations who provide maintenance service.

8. If you use Shell Mosaik MasterCard, you may get up to 5% cash back and other
discounts at Shell gas stations in Canada (annual fee is needed).

9. Save 2 cents per liter if you pour gas at Petro Canada using Citi Petro-Points
MasterCard. You also collect Petro-Points. (no annual fee)

10. Sometimes you pay less if you pay cash at gas stations.

11. Use coupons.

12. Participate car-sharing plan.

Hmmm, first post, bunch of tips...hey what that at number 4. Run on Water, link to blog OK, link to site for HHO kit. And guess what kiddies sale ends tomorrow.

Smell like Spam.

Nothing new there, except for the SMS idea, and the fact that the post is a spam for a "Water for gas" site.

LOL, I have gaspricewatch.com bookmarked on my cellphone and always check gas prices before I leave the house on the computer. If leaving on a trip I have my fuel stops pre-planned to take advantage of the best gas prices. If I have to make an unplanned fuel stop I check prices on the phone.

I can run on water

Can I convert my van to run on water and float on water, while I drink some water.

You mean, like a Jesus Lizard?

Mid-grade is the best value for the money, at least for me. On cheapest gas, I get 50 mpg. On mid-grade I get 55 mpg. 10% increase in fuel economy. Mid-grade is 2.4% more expensive. I have a 10 gallon tank, so I will spend $1.00 more to fill the tank with mid than with regular assuming .10 difference in price. Since the increase in fuel economy is essentially a free gallon of gas (at about $4.10 - $1.00 = $3.10 savings).

Therefore, mid-grade fuel is cheaper than regular grade fuel.

PS I can RUN with water, but my arm hurts after awhile. :-)

Dang.. way to go, Number Cruncher. :thumbup: :D

I have to say I hadn't thought of #3, "Buy gas-saving cars, such as GAS-ELECTRIC hybrid." All these years I didn't know. I'm kind of beating myself over the head for this one.

On another note, out of all of the gas finder sites, I like Gas Finder the best. It's simple and straightforward. I find GasBuddy or GasPriceWatch way to bloated for me. Just my opinion...

I walked on water once...of course, the lake was frozen over...

For those who want cars that run on water, here are a couple links...

Enjoy!

Especially if you print your own. From the People's Militia Bank. At your compound.

Nine of the twelve ideas will save ZERO gas whatsoever. Will i use less gas if I fill up at a service station away from the highway? Ridiculous.

Coupons? Shell Mastercard? How will any of these allow me to put fewer gallons in my tank?

I think they were going for saving money on gas. Still, their primary motivation is to sell their stuff in #4. If the moderators did an IP search on that guy I bet it would turn up that his IP is from a country that doesn't use Engilsh as a primary language. I would almost be willing to bet the IP they are using traces back to China or Taiwan.

Take #12 for example... Participate in a car-sharing plan??? Don't they mean join a carpool?
