So it’s no news that the price at the pump just keeps going up. Not only here in New Jersey, but around the nation as well. Currently the highest average priced gas in America is in California. Google says California is “averaging” $5.28 a gallon. Some spots in California are higher than that. So they are about a dollar higher then here in Ocean County.

Now that the pump has gone crazy, what are you doing to save money? driving less is obviously the answer, but what if that’s not the answer? I hear lots of folks saying they are “multi-tasking”. Driving and getting several errands done at one time to save driving miles. Others are saying they are simply staying close to home. So now that we can get out and be active, we can’t afford it Ugh.
