As we all know, gas just isn't cheap anymore, and has gone up in price a lot during the past year.

A way to save on gas is to plan all your shopping in one trip, especially if you live at a good distance from where you shop.
If you get it all done in one trip, you don't need to go back more than once.

Another way to save on gas is to carpool. Do you have a friend nearby? Maybe you can do your shopping together and take turns driving.

Using your cruise control uses less gas than not using it, plus the driver behind you will probably appreciate it.

Don't accelerate quickly. Something I am guilty off, heh.

Check your tire pressure regularly. I don't know how it works in all cars, but I can see the tire pressure by pushing a button on my steering wheel.

If you live in a cold area, it's very tempting to pre-start your car and let it warm up. Ask yourself if this is really necessary :)

I used to have a link to a site where you could put in your ZIP code, and it would give you a list of gas stations in your area, along with their price per gallon.
Can't find that site now, but it's also a way to save on gas. Find the cheapest deal.
