Stop paying more than you have to at the pump. There are several websites out there that track local gas prices so you can determine the best place to fuel up before you head out. I personally like to use Gas Buddy, but GasPriceWatch and AAA also have pretty good gas price monitoring websites. For more information about these sites as well as a couple others, check out this article from Yahoo! Finance.

On a related note, I came across this video about increasing your gas mileage the other day. This guy claims that adding nail polish remover to your fuel tank can result in an increase of 10 miles per gallon. I’m pretty skeptical, however, mainly because the only “proof” of this method consists of a guy typing increasing numbers into an Excel spreadsheet.

“…and then I added Kool-Aid mix and, as you can see (types the number “75″ into spreadsheet), my mileage increased to 75 mpg!”

Watch the video and draw your own conclusions.

The above video is of twin brothers John (who passed away a couple years ago) and Greg Rice. If you’ve stayed up late watching TV before, you’ve probably come across one of their informercials for their no-money-down real estate program. In this particular video, they are doing a commercial for a pest control company that they own a stake in.

Now I can’t vouch for their real estate program or their pest control business, but I seriously have a lot of respect for these guys. They took something that could be looked upon as a huge disadvantage and they turned it into a big positive. Sure, you might think that their methods were a bit cheesy, but you can’t argue with the results. They made millions in the real estate business and they turned a struggling pest control business into a thriving one. These guys are a testament to the fact that working hard and making the most of your situation can yield some pretty impressive results. Rock on, little guys.

I’m sure that everyone’s aware that the markets took a beat-down yesterday. I haven’t checked on the damage to my personal assets but let’s just say I’m in some sort of “Investor Denial” right now. Reports say that yesterday was the biggest one day plunge since 2001. The market should bounce back. I bet my entire portfolio on it.
