It seems that gas prices pushing beyond $4 is more than just Pennsylvania residents can handle – older, non-digital fuel dispensers cannot comprehend the numbers. Literally. Anything above $3.99 gets them out of whack.

Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell announced this weekend that gas stations in PA will be allowed to advertise half-gallon prices until upgrades to the older pumps can be made.

Make your gallons (or half-gallons) stretch further by walking, bicycling, taking public transport when you can. Taking advantage of these gas stretching tips when you can’t. You can also try www.gasbuddy.com (a favorite of ours) to try and find sub $4 fuel.

When all else fails, you can always get creative, like the University of Central Florida student who concocted fuel from fryer grease.

More on that story later….
