An automotive site asked readers for unconventional ways to save money on gas and published a mix of practical and humorous responses.
User hoser68 posted a fuel-economy calculation comparing a 2-mile versus 10-mile trip to different stations and showed a 15-gallon fill would need about a 2.6% lower price to offset the extra driving.
Reader Jerome Whittle said he took a $5,000 pay cut to work 10 minutes from home instead of 45, which he said saved gas and reclaimed about five hours of weekly time.
Other contributions ranged from the tongue-in-cheek — user Polysyllabic recommended "always drive downhill" — to civic ideas urging votes for better public transit and bike infrastructure to reduce gas use.
