These are actually ranked in no particular order, but with gas pricing rising following Russian sanctions, we came up some of the ways you can save money on your fuel economy without making wild adjustments to your daily routine.

With a little practice, you’ll soar over all those potholes and dodge stray cats with ease, and you’ll improve your balance for cycling, if that’s your thing. A win-win in our book.

Complaining about the pipeline that Biden was supposed to finish or something will not cost you any gas.
