Get a GPS

The best gadget investment we ever made was buying a GPS.  It has already paid for itself in gas savings.  We don't get lost or drive for miles in the wrong direction anymore.  We can find all the shortcuts and it's wonderful for tag sales.  We can go to distant and hard to get to communities and we don't have to ask how to get out.  We just hit the GPS and go.  My husband liked his car GPS so much, he got one for his motorcycle too.  By all means by your GPS online and get one that doesn't require a service contract.  My husband bought both of his on eBay and spent less than $100.  Way less.  The one for the bike cost him $25 to the door.
Also when it comes to driving sometimes you have to pay the two dollars.  We had a discussion with a driver who wanted to take the long way in order to avoid the toll on the interstate. This did not make sense.  The gas savings more than paid for the toll.  This may make sense when the price of gas is low but not right now when it's sky high.  Also we have an E Z Pass to pay our tolls electronically.  You do have to keep money on your account but they give you a discount on your tolls, so it ends up working out in our favor.  Sometimes it doesn't pay to be too cheap.
