Quick Tip: Rising gas prices

CHICAGO (WLS) -- Here's a quick tip on rising gas prices.

A new study from LendingTree says 31% of Americans have already changed spending habits because of rising gas prices, and 62% say their finances will take a serious hit if prices stay high for a month or more.

Experts say it will take time for prices to drop even after the war with Iran ends.

So, what can you do to save?

First shop around. Apps like GasBuddy can help you find cheaper gas nearby. Even small price differences can add up.

Consider a credit card with gas rewards, but only if you can pay it off every month.

Finally, drive less when you can. Carpooling or combining trips may not be ideal, but it can make a real difference.
