Usually what I do to save a bit on gas is to fill my tank, I find I get slightly better gas mileage when I fill my tank as opposed to just adding a little gas here and there. Do you find that the case also? I also try to keep maintenance up to date on the cars, this helps. Making sure the tire pressure is good can also help you get slightly better gas mileage.

To be honest, though the only way to pay less at the pumps is to simply find the lowest-priced gas in your neighborhood. It's that simple. I won't drive a half hour to save a few cents, that makes no sense, but if we can find the least expensive gas in our neighborhoods, that can help.
