If you drive a lot, it might be worth exploring a credit card that gives extra cash back or points specifically for gas. Many cards offer special rates for gas. And some gas companies, like Exxon Mobil, even offer their own cards that give a 10-cent discount on every gallon of gas you buy. Also, plenty of discount chains like Costco and BJ's provide members with cheaper gas, so it could be worth exploring a membership if you have one close by.

Experts told Consumer Reports that driving above 75 miles per hour on the highways chips away at your fuel economy because your car will start to expend more energy resisting winds.
