Fuel Economy Tip - Bring Your Lunch

May 16th, 2006 | by Brian Carr |

Today’s tip will hopefully help you save money on your gas bill and on the amount of money you spend each day on lunch.

Bring your lunch to work each day.

Aside from all the money that you spend each day on McDonalds, Taco Bell or Ruby Tuesday’s (if you’re high class), you’re also spending a bunch of money on gas to get there and back.

If you drive 5 miles each day to grab lunch (10 miles round trip), you’re probably wasting between 1 and 3 gallons of gas each week.

Now, if you were to bring your lunch to work, you would only be spending gas to go to the grocery store and bring everything back home. And even that cost might be negligible because you probably have to go to the grocery store at some point during the week anyhow.

By saving between 1 and 3 gallons each week, you are saving between $156 and $468 each year, not to mention all of the money you’ve saved on lunch each day.

Try this out for a week and then thank me for all of the money you’ve saved.
