What fuel costs me has gone from 13 to 16-cpm in the last few years. So, as with other Americans, reducing fuel cost has been to drive less. I'm not sure I actually driver fewer miles most weeks, but I have been diligent about reducing the total number of miles for the same round of errands. Route planning online tools, such as those offered by MAPQUEST, are a surprisingly good aid. Giving myself a rule about some days with no vehicle use at all has helped the most in terms of combining trips.

It's those with fixed commutes hurt the most I'd think.
