Gary Jones: Buying a gas sipper
Gary Jones: Buying a gas sipper
With gas prices at a record high, Gary Jones plans to invest in a car that'll help him squeeze more miles out of each gallon.
Product technical specialist, 38, Verdigris, Okla.

We are paying off one car so I can buy a more fuel-efficient car for work commutes. So in a sense, we are paying off debt in order to save money on fuel.
