It seems like gas prices hit a new record high every day.
According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of gasoline is $4.97 as of June 9. That's about 27 cents more than one week ago, 34 cents more than a month ago and up $1.90 from one year ago.
While there might be little relief in sight, there may be some changes you can make to find some savings at the pump.
In a previous episode of the PennyWise podcast, host Teri Barr spoke with Sara Rathner, a personal finance expert with NerdWallet, to learn about some of the simple things you can do to keep more of your money in your pocket. Rather than a new episode this week, we're highlighting these money-saving tips once again now that we're at the start of the summer driving season when prices are typically higher.Â
