Rising Price of Gas

The price of gas is one of those things that will always be a thorn in our side.  Let's be honest we spend a lot of money at the pump.
There are some things that you can do to make the price a bit more easily to handle.
I buy gift cards at Sobeys when they have the promotion buy $200 in gift cards and receive 95 or 100 Bonus Air Miles.
Sobeys gift cards can be used directly at Shell locations that have a Needs.
I prefer Shell as my primary gas station since I get air miles, and a bonus large hot beverage with each fill up.  I try to fill up on Thursdays, as gas changes during the night Thursday.  I watch the trend to see if going up or down.  I tend to fill up in the morning and have a French Vanilla as my pre work treat.

Perhaps Shell isn't your favorite gas station. Find a loyalty card and make it work for you. This summer I went to Irving a lot to get air miles and the game pieces to win prizes.  I bought my Irving gift cards at Lawtons and Sobeys and paid with my Sobeys gift card. This process collects your air miles twice.
Other gas stations offer loyalty programs
Petro Canada has Petro Points
Esso has Aeroplan Miles
Ultramer has their own fuel program ( I don't know anything about this program)
Sobeys Fuel locations Air Miles, and a coupon to use at Sobeys AND sometimes free coffee this is the fill up lotto win

The trick is find a gas station near your house with a loyalty program you like and start collecting.

BUT THERE ARE OTHER WAYS I CUT DOWN ON FUEL FEES
I drive a smaller car. I drive a Toyota Corolla
I drive a standard
I put my car in neutral a lot when driving and coast
I unplug the phone charger when I am not using it
I keep the sunroof open and windows open vs the air conditioner for in town driving, unless its unbearable, I'm cheap but not that cheap!
I try to plan my outings to do them all in one trip. I really suck at this though, and need a lot of work on it.
I keep my car serviced for the regular maintenance
My husband checks the tire pressure regularly
