Default Figured how much I save in gas $$$ a month.

When I drive the way I use to, like about 5 miles over the speed limit out of town, I would fill up my car 6 times a month, with all the driving I do.

Now, I fill up 4 times a month. Course, the longest stretch constriction ... err, construction zone this side of the Mississippi ... helps.

With gas at about $4.10 a gallon, assuming I put in 10 gallons, that's about $41 a pop. So, now that I'm fulling up 2 times less, I figure I'm saving about $82 a month in gas money!

That's gone to paying down my bills, and will, hopefully soon, start building up the new car fund.

Hey that's great! I've also quit speeding in an attempt to save gas $$. From what I've figured my mileage has gone from 20 to 24 or 25. I find that when I consciously drive more slowly, I don't get as stressed out when I'm trying to get some place.

Have you heard of hypermiling?
