Stay Close to Home: (I post this as I’m on the road DRIVING TO ORLANDO, but it’s cheaper than flying and dear ol’ dad sent us money, plus we’re staying with him, so no hotel costs!)

After church last Sunday we debated to go to our favorite breakfast restaurant several miles down the highway or to one that was two miles away. We opted for the closer one. Any gas we can save will help save us money.

    This is a tip I picked up on the news a few weeks ago: try coasting more. I’ve started driving slower and taking my foot off the accelerator when going downhill or even down a slight incline, and I’m convinced this is saving me gas.
