Do rising gas prices have you feeling down? Here is a list of nine ways to help cut costs and beat your gas-guzzling addiction, with thanks to Andrea Woroch, consumer savings expert. 

Public Transportation

Get around the city with Valley Metro. City buses and light rail will help cut your gas bill way down, and even allows you time to check your Facebook, Twitter, or catch up on that dusty book you have been meaning to read. Budget cutbacks have slowed down public transportation a bit, so just keep that in mind.

Bicycle

Riding your bicycle to work or to the grocery store when weather permits it is a great way to save money in your wallet and get a great workout in the process. Talk about killing two birds with one stone! With more and more places offering bicycle lanes and more convenient places to park it, there's no reason not to ride every once in a while. Don't have a bicycle? Don't worry; lease shops are becoming popular, and you can find a decently priced bike on Craigslist.
