Keeping your car running can be expensive, especially with the current high cost of gas. But there are ways to save money at the pump. Taking the time to cut what you spend on gas could pay off in the long run.

Another strategy to save money on gas is to take advantage of public transit if it’s reliable and available. Plus, you may earn some extra money by renting out your car when you’re not using it. That can offset some of your expenses and even increase the capital you end up with, which will help you reach FIRE.
