(Jessica) Welcome to Money Matters on the Southern Bank Financial Wellness network. I’m Jessica.

(John) And I’m John!

(Jessica) And today we’re talking about the price of gasoline.

(John) That is the topic of the year, no doubt.

(Jessica) John, with gas prices so high, what are some tips to help save money on fuel?

(John) The good news, Jessica, is there are lots of options available! Gas apps can find low prices near you, plus there are fuel rewards programs from places like gas stations, membership clubs, and grocery stores that can cut the cost of each gallon.

(Jessica) Performing regular maintenance, rotating tires, and keeping the tire pressure right will also improve efficiency and, over time, will save you a bunch of money.

(John) Additionally, Jessica, driving safely will help keep your car in good shape and improve your gas mileage. Plus, many insurance companies offer a discount for safe driving behavior.

(Jessica) Remember, small changes add up, even if it’s just a few cents at a time. We’ll see you next time on Money Matters, and remember, Financial Wellness starts here!
