Time for Tips

I have found some more great tips lately. Here are a few of my favorites.

• Be careful of credit card interest rates! Always verify that the gas stations you use don't charge higher prices to credit card customers.
• When you sign up for the 'loyalty' cards at your nearby store, realize that they do that to track your spending for their own benefit. That is not to say that you don't get a lot out of it. The savings can be substantial.
• Keep meticulous records of what you spend and how many miles you drive so you can quickly spot changes in vehicle performance. It will also help focus you on the goal of saving.
• Take off slowly from a full stop. This is one adjustment that will have dramatic effects on your gas mileage; don't tear off from a stoplight or stop sign!
