With gas prices reaching $3.50 per gallon in places, it might be time to look into an alternative to your 1969 Chevy pickup with the 350 big block engine. Here are just a few tips that might save you a little money.
Try carpooling. I know that riding in a car with that guy who is just way too perky that early in the morning for his own good may seem daunting, but it could cut your gas prices in half just by riding to work with someone.
Public transportation is a cheap and effective way of getting around. An all day bus pass usually runs around $5. If the old lady across from you beats you with her cane again, you can always move seats.

Riding a bike is a cheap and healthy way to get around as long as you don’t live too far away from where you are going.
