Top 10 Ways To Beat High Gas Prices

gas.jpgEver feel like you need to just be a dork every once in a while? I am feeling that way right now, and since I have been really busy lately with work and life, I needed to take a break and post something really, well, stupid. So here is my attempt.

 I paid $3.89 per gallon here in northern California the other day?!?!  As the numbers on the pump were moving and whirling around in circles faster than the eyes could follow, it gave me time to ponder some new things I am going to start doing to beat the high price of gas. I wanted to jot them down on my blog so I could forget about them.

  1. Start pricing a hover scooter.
  2. Look into a mule.
  3. Start thumbing my way to town.
  4. Look into a helicopter.
  5. Start pricing a golf cart.
  6. Look into a horse.
  7. After horse is procured, look into a rickshaw.
  8. Look into a moped.
  9. Search ebay for Jet Packs.
  10. Two words: SIPHON BABY!

And of course some real ways to beat high gas prices:

  • Dust off my bike. 
  • Sell my truck and get a more fuel efficient vehicle.
  • Start riding the city bus more often.
  • Carpool to work.
  • Plan errands into one trip.
  • Two words: SIPHON BABY!

    Thanks for the laugh! Siphoning seems to be the way to go since it made both of your lists! (any luck with it yet?)

    Ok – now you forgot – hit up Walgreens, make a ton of Register Rewards and then turn those into gas cards. Not a bad plan imo.

    Matt, haven’t tried it yet….but I got the garden hose ready!

    Carlie, have you done this? I think it is a great idea, especially if you shop there regularly anyways. What do they have, Chevron and Shell type gas cards?

    I’m not sure to be honest with you. One of my friends told me she used five of her 10.00 rewards from this week to buy a gas card. i think it was for Shell. Definatly worth looking into.

    That’s a great idea on the gas card. I shop at Walgreens all the time and never even thought of that!….DUH Julie!
