Answer 3

I live near Raleigh, NC. I payed $3.99 a gallon today. I try different routes to find the easiest and fastest way to work. I bring a bagged lunch so I don't have to drive to a fast food joint. I also drive slower and do easier starts off the line. Keep the maintenance up on the car and check the tire pressure.

Answer 6

There's not point in worrying about gas prices in my opinion.  You have to decide whether or not it's worth it to drive and spend money on gas or use other modes of transportation to save.  Personally, I haven't really had a major issue dealing with the current gas prices.

Gas is around $3.95 in my area, more or less depending on where you go.

Answer 7

I'm in a fortunate position.  I can walk to work, to the store, etc as I live in a fairly small place.  I think that if I had to drive, I would try to car pool, use public transportation (there's none where I live), try to work 4 10 hour days instead of 5 8 hour days, bike, or buy a gas friendly vehicle.  Gas in this area is $4.03 to $4.10 but then I'm in a tourist area.
