Saving money on gas

The March 2005 issue of Real Simple had an article on ways to save money. I thought their tips and URLs for saving money on gas were interesting.

But remember that "cheap gas" is sometimes gasohol, and some cars don't do well on it. My car, for example, required very costly repairs after using gasohol for several months. I have to get the good stuff and buy gas from Chevron because paying an extra dollar per tank (and yes, this is what it comes to - an extra dollar, because ten cents a gallon difference for ten gallons is only a dollar - to avoid getting my car's engine overhauled again is worth it, to me.

Very true. But sometimes it's a matter of same type of gas station, same type of gas, vastly different price at the pump depending on where in town you're getting your tank filled.

There's a couple of gas stations by my work, for instance, that are ten cents a gallon more expensive than their exact same counterparts just a short way down the road.
