I try to conserve it for the big trips.
Since the fall, I've been getting up at 4 a.m. to take my daughter to her bus stop. I used to get up later, then go back home and shower and head to work. Now I get ready early and head to work nearly two hours early because of the gas I'd burn going back home and then heading out again.
I also take the time to plan out my errands and no longer just hop in the car when the whim strikes me. I try to purchase gas on Tuesdays or Wednesdays when the price will often drop a cent or two per gallon.
