There was a time in the summer of 2008, gas prices averaged about $ 4.50/gallon in the U.S. After the summer of 2008 broke the gas prices at $ 2.00/gallon and people began to enjoy more. However, since September 2011, the price is around $ 4.00/gallon and is expected to about $ 5.00/gallon in the next year or sufficient. The best ways to save money is to lead all and stay at home, sitting at the computer all day! Most of us can not do that because we have to go to work and live in a society where driving is a necessity. How many miles you are better off with a gallon of gasoline? No expensive cars, is in this post and none of the cars here to get 0-60 in 5 seconds, but these cars will save money on gas per year.
