To date, here in Myrtle Beach, the average price per gallon of gas is $3.78. Yes, it’s high! But instead of complaining about high prices, lets do something about it? Each of us could bring the price of gas down if we would change some of our driving habits. Here’s how I’m contributing in hopes that prices will drop.
1. Choose your route carefully.
2. Go shopping once a week, otherwise shop online.
3. Visit the local convenient store only in an emergency.
4. Attend church once a week.
5. See a movie twice a month.
6. Eat out once a week or order in more often.
7. Only fill your gas tank halfway.
8. Tell congress to stop catering to environmentalists and drill in Alaska.
Being frugal isn’t easy. We love our cars and because of this love affair we’re now paying the price it takes to maintain this affair. If we continue our addiction, somewhere down the line rationing is going to become a way of life. After all, there’s only so much oil to go around. Should rationing become necessary then all of us will be forced into action to conserve, therefore why not voluntarily do so now? Remember, cause and effect! Simply put, the less gasoline we pump the more stockpile there is to move, thus lower prices. So STOP complaining and take matters into your own hands … use less gas!
The average cost to fill my tank up was $160.00 per month. By changing my driving habits and still not feeling as though I was sacrificing, I was able to save $80.00. Yes, there are times when I have to use more fuel. I'm not going to give up visiting my friends. The average fuel cost, $15.00 per month ... a small price to pay considering the fact that I really enjoy hanging out with them. So, the moral in all this is; choose your journies wisely, stick to it, and choose your friends carefully ... why spend fuel visiting someone you really don't enjoy being around? I'm just saying!
