Prices at the pump have already reached above $4 a gallon, but much of the frustration is misdirected, says AAA. The automotive club says the following are false:
- It is more fuel-efficient to turn off the air conditioning
- Station owners and operators are making a profit off of higher gas prices
- Fuel prices do not come down with demand
All eyes are on a possible closure of a Sunoco refinery in Philadelphia, to which AAA says, "Lord, have mercy on us." The plant handles almost a quarter of the refining capacity on the Eastern Seaboard.
Some driving habits that will help you:
- Go easy on the brake pedals
- Ease off the gas ahead of a red light
- Slowly accelerate when the light turns green
