These days, more people than ever are looking for ways to save money on the road. Some or all of the tips below might prove useful:
* Minimize your speeding, and follow parking rules. Tickets are costly, and if you end up getting your insurance premiums increased, you'll suffer a double financial whammy. (Speeding also consumes more gas.)
* Be insurance-smart. Shop around and make sure you're paying as little for your desired level of coverage as you need to. Look into discounts for alarms, short commutes, or safety features. (Check our Insurance area.)
* Spend some time comparing local gas stations and use the ones that offer the lowest rates. Take advantage of special deals that offer you a few cents off on certain days. If your car doesn't need premium gas, don't use it. One very useful resource is GasPriceWatch, which can help you find low gas prices. You can also save gas by keeping your RPMs at lower, rather than higher, levels. (Below 3,000 is a good target.)

If you drink coffee daily, you can save a substantial amount without significantly affecting the taste by using the grounds twice (or more!). Just add a small amount of new coffee to the old grounds.
