This morning when I was watching Good Morning America, an interview with T. Boone Pickens was being played.  This respected oil man (if there is such a thing) was talking about how if something is not done, mainly us changing our ways and converting from the need of using oil to using natural gas and wind.  (OK, I'm serious, this is not a joke. I just spent a little time with college boys at my assistance's house and well need I say more....) Anyway back on topic.  If we don't start changing our ways we will be looking at $6-7 gas next summer and just keep going up according to Pickens and our only hope is to lobby our government to look into alternatives. As a realtor as I have blogged about before, we just have to keep driving, so I guess we will have to get political, but between now and then here are some tips I found.

Start stocking up on non-perishable at the grocery store etc.  Watch for sales and buy extras instead of just when you need them.

Eat out on only special occasion (geez that will be hard for a person who never gets home before 6 or 7)

Don't buy bottled water, tap water is cheaper and apparently there have actually been studies that show that bottle water is no better then tap in some cases.  My kids are going to hate this one.

Raise your thermostat (we talked about this one before)

Skip the latte, make it at home (This one is not happening around here, but its the thought that counts right?)

I am sure that there are other people who can add a whole lot more of tips to save money to buy gas!! Bring them on.
