Even More Ways To Save Cash On Gasoline And Other Items

By: Ozzie Freedom

Here are a few valid suggestions for saving money…

1. SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES
There are several things you can do to keep from wasting money on food that will go bad or that you will never eat. For instance, never go grocery shopping when you are famished! Also, have a list so you don’t “impulse buy” yourself into insolvency. Other suggestions are to have a budget and at least try to come close (it’s like the game “The Price Is Right” – if you go over you lose!), choose store brands instead of brand name – it’s really the same peanut butter, choose to drink water and never from the tap, and, most important, leave the childrenhome with your spouse when you go food shopping for gawd’s sake!
2. OPTIMIZE YOUR FUEL CONSUMPTION
A. Here is one that will surprise you…Roll up windows on highway. While ”everybody” believe they're being economical by turning off the air-conditioner, it actually creates a considerable drag if you are driving fast with the windows down, and is worse for your fuel economy. So, City Driving=windows down and A/C off and Highway Driving=windows up and A/C on.
B. Don’t buy hot gas and do park in the shade. Try to get fuel when it is cool (morning or evening) so the gasoline is thicker and won’t evaporate as rapidly. And parking in the sun will cause gas to evaporate also.
C. Try to avoid rush hour. Of course no one wants to go onto the 405 freeway and sit in a parking lot there. There is actually a reason why they refer to the driveway as the driveway and the parkway as the parkway!! But realize that as much as it is harmful to your internal temperature gauge it is also bad for your gas economy.
D. Telecommute – It’s good for the economy, it’s good for traffic,it’s good for the family, it’s good in a lot of ways and many people are following this new trend. If you can arrange to land a job where you can work at home, do it! You will be happier, feel freer and more independent, and economize on fuel (and also on food as you are more likely tograb some fast food, waste money and get fat if you are working in an office than if you work at home)
E. Properly using water in your fuel system can save you up to 1/3 off gasoline expenses for your auto by making the gasoline you buy perform better. If you pay $40/week for gas you might just save $600 or more per year!
