How can I save money on gas?

If you want the 2022 Ford Expedition but you’d also like to find ways to soften its impact on your wallet, Consumer Reports offers some advice. Using a credit card with cash bag rewards may help you save some money, as can using gas price checking apps. Buying your gas at a wholesale club like Costco or BJ’s can also save you some money. Finally, make sure you’re driving carefully and maintaining as even a speed as possible. This helps increase fuel efficiency and may allow you to save a little money at the gas pump.

Still, if it checks all the other boxes of what you’re looking for in an SUV, it may be worth it to you to deal with the current gas prices – and hope that they come down at some point.
