How to Save Money at the Pump
According to GasBuddy.com, gas prices in the Milwaukee metro area have climbed from an average of $2.53 per gallon to about $2.75 per gallon over the last month. To save money on gas, it pays to check the current Milwaukee gas prices for stations in your part of town. For example, today the highest gas prices were recorded at $2.85 per gallon at a Shell station in New Berlin, and the lowest gas prices were at $2.63 in Cudahy. On a sixteen gallon fillup, that is a difference of $3.52! The Milwaukee Gas Prices website relies on local consumers to report gas prices, and also rewards members with points that can be used to participate in raffles to earn prizes.

Cash for Clunkers Program Ends Monday
The Car Allowance Rebate System, commonly known as the Cash for Clunkers program, ends on Monday, August 24th at 7pm CST. Yesterday the U.S. Transportation Secretary announced the end of the program. As of yesterday, the CARS program had recorded more than 457,000 transactions worth $1.9 billion in rebates.
If you are considering trading in your clunker, keep in mind that dealerships in Wisconsin are closed on Sundays, so your window of opportunity to take advantage of this program is limited to today, Saturday, and Monday.
The CARS program allows consumers to receive a $3,500 or $4,500 rebate in certain situations. For more information on the program, check out the official CARS website at www.cars.gov or see our related posts.
A few key highlights of the program are:
- Your vehicle must be less than 25 years old on the trade-in date
- Only purchase or lease of new vehicles qualify
- Generally, trade-in vehicles must get 18 or less MPG (some very large pick-up trucks and cargo vans have different requirements)
- Trade-in vehicles must be registered and insured continuously for the full year preceding the trade-in
- You don’t need a voucher, dealers will apply a credit at purchase
- Program runs through Nov 1, 2009 or when the funds are exhausted, whichever comes first.
- The program requires the scrapping of your eligible trade-in vehicle, and that the dealer disclose to you an estimate of the scrap value of your trade-in. The scrap value, however minimal, will be in addition to the rebate, and not in place of the rebate.
