What techniques/tips do you use to stretch the shrinking dollar? I:

Use lower octane fuel. My car normally uses premium, damnit.

1- A little more pressure in the tires
2- carpool, plan out trips to be more efficient
3- roll up the windows on the freeway
4- try to avoid driving at high traffic times(next to impoosible in socal)

5- and the number one way I save gas---I vandalize SUVs

it's a joke calm down...

I don't need to worry about saving gas. This weekend I drove 400 miles with 11.2 gallons... 36 MPG! But honestly, I try not to drive with a lead foot and try to use the A/C when I have to.

Not a damn thing.  Gas is cheap and plentiful.  Who cares.
