The cost of gas can be a major daily expense as a Notary Signing Agent going from appointment to appointment each day. Gas prices can fluctuate weekly or even daily in some areas. Here are a few tips that can help you save on this expense.
Whenever possible, the night before route your assignments
If you are like most full-time Notary Signing Agents that have multiple assignments each day it is a great investment to plan the night before on which route you will take to travel to each assignment. When I first started as a Notary Signing Agent one of the mistakes I made was to not plan out the next day travel. Doing this can cut down on unnecessary traveling to and from your office or FedEx & UPS drop off locations. Proper planning prevents poor performance.
Use Gas Saving Apps
Thanks to smartphones, we can now download an app for just about anything, including saving gas. Here are a few of the top gas-saving apps that can help you save on gas expenses daily – Gas Buddy, AAA Mobile, Gas Guru, Waze, and GetUpside.
Use Reward Programs
One of the best ways I have found to reduce the weekly gas expense is to become familiar with your rewards programs for gas at your local gas stations, grocery stores, etc. Fortunately for Notary Signing Agents, the competition is fierce among gas stations, grocery stores, etc. to have you come into their location to become a repeat customer. As an incentive, these merchants use different types of reward programs to entice you to come into their doors weekly and daily. Make sure you take advantage of this to keep lower the fuel expense weekly.
Know the Best Days of the Week to Buy Gas
According to a recent study of GasBuddy, depending on what part of the country you’re in, Mondays offer the lowest average price.
According to GasBuddy, depending on what part of the country you’re in, Saturday and Sunday is the day to avoid filling up. Patrick DeHaan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy says that as the week progresses and our excitement builds for the weekend, gas prices also have a tendency to rise.
Don’t Wait Until You are Near Empty to Fuel Up
Waiting until your fuel light comes on will not only have you stuck paying for whatever gas is readily available in the location near your assignment but it can be even dangerous and inconvenient, according to Consumer Reports.
