The biggest is simply to slow down. Unless one is on an 8 hour trip, jack rabbit starts and fast driving save only seconds on a drive.

Also these same areas that have higher gas prices, which could mean there is a link between supply and demand.

BoerneWatch Champion Author San Antonio Posts:15,531 Points:2,451,990 Joined:Oct 2005	Message Posted: Nov 29, 2012 5:52:44 AM Ignore BoerneWatch Report Abuse Inventories just don't have the effect on prices that they did in the past. With domestic refining capacity far exceeding domestic demand, that means inventories are not crucial as our refiners can easily produce what we need when we need it. But, because our dollar is being made less valuable due to our government printing so many of them, the world price of gasoline pulls up what we pay at the pump since others outside the US see gas as being relatively cheap.
