How To Survive The Latest Spike In Gas Prices Without Going Broke

5 Things You Need to Know Now To Save Money at the Pump

Neptune, NJ (PRWEB) March 6, 2005 -- Are you ready to pay more for the price of gas? How many times have you heard that before? Well, that dreaded plague is upon us again and ready to devour the unsuspecting consumer. After a relatively short reprieve, gas prices are on the rise once again. But this time, the spike in price is taking a huge turn for the worse. Most people complain when it goes up a few cents a week, but today, it is poised to rattle your wallet to the tune of 25¢ to 28¢ a gallon. This will have major consequences to the average person who is still having trouble paying the already high prices at the pump. But according to Barry Ferguson, author of the book, "How To Stop Wasting Money", there are 5 proven ways to help you get the most out of a tank of gas.

1- Make use of websites that look for the cheapest gas prices such as:
www.gasbuddy.com.
www.gaspricewatch.com
www.fuelmeup.com

These sites monitor the price of gas all over the country by using regular informants to keep tabs on gas prices. Just log on, put in your zip, and they will give you the best price in your area.

2- Gas up early in the morning or late evening. Since it is cooler at these times of day, you get more gas in volume. The warmer it is, the more gas evaporates, leaving you less than what you paid for.

3- Always gas up before the weekend. Gas prices are usually at their highest on Friday when people need to fill up for the weekend. Gas stations have their highest amount of traffic on weekends so they naturally spike the prices for this rush. The best days to buy are Monday through Wednesday when people are less likely to fill up.

4- Look for gas stations at busy intersections where there are usually 2 or 3 competing for your business. You can stick to the generic stations as they are a few cents a gallon cheaper than the brand name stations.

5- Keep your car properly maintained. Make sure your tires are inflated to the proper pressure. Low tire pressure can knock 10-20% off your gas mileage. Change oil regularly and follow all maintenance schedules as outlined in your owner's manual.
