For Immediate Release – July 12, 2011
Denver, Colorado
High gas prices are a reality for everyone, but for a senior on limited income, rising gas prices are even tougher to get a handle on. The Society of Certified Senior Advisors has released a new article that shows seniors just how to curb the use of gas and provides them with tools for locating the best gas prices around town.
Excerpts from article:
Tips Especially for Seniors:
- If you are a veteran, you can gas up on military bases and posts around the United States, often for less money.
- Consider running errands with family or friends who need to go to the same stores or retail areas.
- Plan doctor appointments, lab tests and pharmacy visits all on the same day to consolidate the number of trips you have to make.
- Run several errnad on one trip. Plan the route in advance to make sure you aren't back-tracking or haven't forgotten an important errand.
