Gas Prices Are Painful – Here’s How to Save Money at the Pump Right Now
Gas prices are climbing again — with states like California over $6/gallon and many others in the $4–$5 range.
Here are practical ways to save money every single trip:
• Keep your tires properly inflated (can improve MPG by 3–5%)
• Stay on top of routine vehicle maintenance (oil changes, air filters, etc.)
• Combine trips and plan efficient routes
• Remove unnecessary weight from your vehicle
• Drive smoothly — avoid jackrabbit starts and hard braking
Small habits add up fast when fuel is expensive.
This is exactly the kind of everyday resilience I cover in my book Defensive Preparedness.
✅ Paperback just $12.99 | Kindle $4.99 or Free with Kindle Unlimited
