"Sometimes it's too far, sometimes it's not feasible because there are kids." Still, she says, people do have alternatives like carpooling and walking to both cut down on fuel use or increase the exercise they're getting.

"Doing it even one day a week is better than not doing it at all," she said. Tips on improving mileage The U.S. Department of Energy and U.S. Environmental Agency maintain a Web site, www.fuele-conomy.gov, that provides tips drivers can use to improve gas mileage and has links to sites that track gasoline prices on a state-by-state basis. The AAA auto and travel association has a calculator on its site at www.fuelgaugere-port.com that lets families determine the cost of gasoline for summer road trips.

Callahan of the Alliance to Save Energy said drivers "get the biggest bang for their buck" by driving more carefully. "For example, if you're driving aggressively on the highway accelerating rapidly, speeding, braking too fast you could be decreasing your fuel economy by a third," she said. Keeping a car idling for a long time can eat up gas unnecessarily, Callahan said. And excess weight in a car, say from golf clubs that have found a near-permanent home in the trunk, and also reduce fuel efficiency. Another way to hold down gasoline costs is to keep the car well-maintained by getting regular tuneups, changing oil and air filters and checking tires for proper inflation, she said.

"You can get a 20 percent improvement in fuel economy by doing that," she said. Consumers can, of course, cut down on their driving by taking a bus, train or other public transit to work. They also can try to hold down the distances they drive regularly by being smarter about their routes, Callahan said. "On Saturday, you don't need to work out at the gym, return home and have coffee, head out to the grocery, return home, then go back out to pick up the dry-cleaning especially when you're essentially going back to the exact same strip mall for all of that," she said. If you bundle your errands on the weekend, you help the environment, save time and save money on gas, Callahan said.

Any money you save with make it easier to pay for that holiday, she added. "When you're driving on vacation, you know it will be a luxury you can afford," she said. in Washington, D.C., said that when gas prices rise, there are basically three strategies for consumers drive smarter, keep the car in good working order and drive less. "The trend in prices in up, not down," Callahan said. "That doesn't mean people shouldn't drive at all, but it wouldn't hurt to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst." The Roberts' idea of a relaxing vacation is a trip to Ocean City, a beach community about a three-hour drive from their of Columbia, home.

"It's very beautiful down there, very peaceful, and people are friendly," said Angie Roberts, who works as a shift manager at a McDonald's restaurant. And, she added, "We don't have that far to go to get there." Still, she said, with gas prices rising "we always check the computer and monitor where gas is up and where it's low" to hold down costs. Jamie Hampton, a senior account executive at a public relations firm, said she moved to San Diego for the warm weather and initially hoped to get along without a car for just a year while she got her budget in order. That was some 3-12 years ago. Now she bikes the 15-mile round trip to and from work most days.

Meanwhile, Ortiz, who sells ads for the Chula Vista Star-News newspaper, often leaves his car at Especially as they plan summer travels. By Eileen Alt Powell AP Business Writer NEW YORK Before Angie and Donald Roberts get into their car to travel to the beach, they go online to determine where gasoline prices are lowest along their route. Jamie Hampton and her fiance, Adrian Ortiz, like to get away by driying their Volkswagen van to a campground and leaving it parked while they bike nearby nature trails. They're in shape to do it because they bike almost daily to work. The soaring price of gasoline is leading many Americans to adopt new strategies to economize on fuel, especially during the summer holiday driving season that's about to begin.

The nationwide average price for gasoline has surged to over $3.07 per gallon and still rising, according to the latest Lundberg Survey, surpassing the old mark of $3.03 set last August. Some experts fear that tight domestic refining capacity and higher international demand could boost the average to an unheard-of $3.50 this summer.

When Lytle turned 2 1 Dice says his father stepped out of the picture. Barry Dice bought the business in 2003 after working there for years. "I worked here part-time since I was 15 and for 20 years since. The face of the business is much like it was in the 1960s, full service available at the pumps for customers who want theitf oil checked and their windshield cleaned and a variety of services and products offered inside. Dice says he stocks tires, shock absorbers and exhaust components and does state inspections, emissions inspections, brake, suspension and exhaust work and lube service.

"We're doing well. It's steady with old customers and a lot of new people coming in from all the new development in the area." Dice says she is almost always the only female in sight. "I'm usually in a room full of 50-year-old overweight, bald men," she chuckles. Visits to Amish homes The rare house call at a Amish home or business also causes a bit of a stir. "They (Amish) are very self-sufficient," Dice says.

"They usually find a way to do things themselves. So, when I work for them, there are usually five men watching me over my shoulder. I think they want to see what I'm doing so they don't have to call me again in the future." Dice says she has 10,000 key blanks in stock as well as new electronic transponder keys used in a growing number of new automobiles.

Burglaries spark business Dice says news reports of burglaries also spark new business. "If there's a burglary, I get calls from everyone in that neighborhood, asking for dead bolts on their doors." Like her mother, Dice says, she is a woman in an unconventional position.

Her tales trigger some entertaining mental images. She says first-time customers are often surprised to find a woman locksmith. "A lot of callers ask for 'him' when they call the shop for the first time looking for the locksmith." she says. "Some people seem shocked (to learn the locksmith is a woman) but most are impressed after we talk for a while." Continued from E1 popular in today's automotive market. "There are so many four-door trucks out there today," he says.

"It used to be we couldn't get them in the bay and get the bay door closed. Now we can." Dice says he added storage space at the back of the shop, too, and built a waiting area for the convenience of customers. "It's something we never had before," Dice says. "We renovated the whole front of the building, relocated the office and tried to make it nicer for customers. We have a few people every day who need to wait while we work on their cars." Dice says the improvements help when it comes to serving new customers and maintaining the service that loyal customers from the past expect.

At the end of her workday, Chilcoat likes to unwind and spend time with her husband.

On the weekends, Chilcoat recharges her batteries by hiking, meeting with friends, and entertaining. Chilcoat still has family in Poland and travels to see them when she can; she and her husband are very interested in learning about cultures and are frequent international travelers. done my job to protect my clients." Although Chilcoat is professionally proficient and licensed to sell a wide range of products, she says life insurance is her forte. "I am a big believer and proponent of life insurance." Chilcoat says the sensitive nature surrounding this product makes it hard for some clients to talk about. Seeing her clients dealing with any kind of loss can be extreme Because she offers flexible hours to meet the needs of her client's schedules, late nights and occasional weekend work can keep her working until 9 p.m.

Chilcoat doesn't mind. "This is my life and the hours are part of rny life. I love it. It doesn't feel like work to me." She says she is a people person and looks forward to time spent with her clients. She says the most rewarding aspect of her job is "knowing that I have ly emotional and is the most challenging aspect of her job.

Claim situations like most aspects in the industry are multifarious and multifaceted, and insurance agents deliver the good and bad news. While some industry professionals are allowed occasional autonomy in superseding their company's decisions, she says she has no leverage overruling insurance claims. She explains, "As an agent I am not legally allowed to override the company's decision in settling or denying a claim. All policies are approved and denied by State Farm." When it comes to the future she remains adamant that she is already where she wants to be. "I want to continue to grow my business, be successful, and aspire to be prominent in the community by providing the Good Neighbor Service every policy holder expects and.
