Front and center in every form of media is the rising cost of oil and gas. It affects the lifestyles of every American and the costs of all goods and services we use. Many of us are shaking our fists and looking for somebody to blame. Before we start pointing the finger elsewhere maybe we should point it at ourselves.

To our Governments credit, they realized the problem and have done something about it. They passed federal tax incentives that pay each and every American to make their home and business more energy efficient. Our government passes laws that benefit us financially when they want or need us to take action. Have you made your home more energy efficient and done your part to reduce our dependence on foreign countries?

I’ll wager you that the percentage of Americans who have made their property more energy efficient and taken advantage of this tax break is very small. If most Americans took this simple inexpensive step (Almost paid in full by our government) we could dramatically reduce our oil consumption.

There are inexpensive revolutionary new products now available to the public that can slash your prices of both gasoline and your electric bill. Almost all new homes being built now have these energy saving products. Doing their part, our Government continues to raise the energy efficiency requirements for appliances and other items via building codes.

Important Tips:

1. Determine the value:

Unlike reward cards such as repeated flier credit cards, credit cards are very beneficial and offer many significant savings. If an individual fills up the vehicle tank at least thrice a month and has a credit score of around 720, cards are just the best choice.

These cards offer a refund on their purchase, ranging from four percent to six percent. Thus, if a person spends $45 for filling up a vehicle tank, it is possible to save around $2 a fill up. That is about $100 in savings towards the year-end.
