I'm not really doing anything different than I've done in the past. I stop at the store on my way home from work instead of making special trips out, if I don't have something specific to eat I wait instead of making a special trip to get it, etc etc. Basically just a common sense approach to not wasting gas that, based on talkin to different store clerks, most of the people moving out into this area have no idea how to do. There is absolutely no way you can get to the area I live, other than by air, that you don't pass at least two grocery stores. Still people complain when they get home and then turn around and go back out to the "Country Store" about 3 miles up the road only to find they have to go another four miles, back to one of the same grocery stores they passed on the way home, to get that one item they absolutely couldn't live without.
