Now that I’m not driving the kiddos to preschool three days a week, I don’t go to town as often as I used to.  So it was quite the shocker to look at my near empty gas gauge when I was getting groceries last week and then to see this:

Four dollars for one gallon of gas. I  think the last time I filled up, gas was a “only” $3.78 a gallon . Hmmmphh.

We’ve written about how to handle high gas prices several times over the last five years, and rather than write about it yet again, I thought I would point you in the direction of those posts.

There is some good information in these posts to help you save money on gas:

When you live in a rural area like I do, public transit isn’t an option.  Biking to town isn’t really an option either.  Nor is living with just one vehicle.  But there are some simple things you can do (like making fewer trips and carpooling) that can help.   Hopefully the posts I’ve shared here will inspire you in some new ways.
