Save Big

A quick scan of CNN this morning to see if anything major was happening; instead I get Gerri Willis handing out tips on how to lessen the financial blow when you fill 'er up.

Of course, the only thing you can really do is buy a Prius or move to Venezuela. Or take your Prius to Venezuela and drive all year for $80 -- I'm not kidding.

The tips on CNN were hysterical, such as: take the roof rack off of your car. Yeah... that'll save a ton. I Googled "gas saving tips" and found numerous lists. Many suggested: don't drive around with a bunch of stuff tied to your roof rack -- it causes air resistance. I'm guessing a producer at CNN -- or perhaps Gerri herself -- found a similar list and conveyed the wrong information.
