- I removed my roof rack for a combo of the wind noise and a tiny boost to efficiency.

- I don't go out of my way to find cheaper gas stations, but I do find myself paying a lot more attnetion to which specific areas in my travels tend to have lower prices, and which specific stations on my regular routes have the cheapest.

- Be wary of the posted price, some of the cheaper ones are cash only, and I rarely use cash for anything. I got burned on this last weekend, pulling into a big name brand for $3.91, only to realize that was the cash only price after I started pumping. CC price was $4.01, 2.5% higher. If I had driven three more blocks there was a Valejo at $3.91 regardless of payment method.

- I have actually started to pay attention to cash back CCs, whereas previously I just played the airline points game. I used went and got a Chase Freedom Visa (no annual fee), which gave me $150 in credit just for getting the card, and gives 5% cash back on rotating categories each quarter. Gas was the Jan-Mar option, which worked out well for me and the wife.

- For the first time in a while I am seriously considering giving up some vehicle freedom and a bit of time by carpooling.
