Gas Prices: What You Are Paying At The Pump [PHOTOS]

Gas prices are hitting record highs for this time of year and with summer approaching, they're likely only going to get worse. While the average cost of a gallon of gas is costing Americans $3.73, our readers are already paying well above that (see below).

• Keep your tires inflated to their optimal pressure to improve your car's fuel economy.
• Be gentle on your pedals, and refrain from making sudden stops.
• Download an app to help you find the lowest gas prices in your area.
• Don't speed -- you'll burn through your gas tank faster.
• Plan your outings efficiently. Minimize the number of stops you have to make and outline your route in advance to minimize mileage.
• Clean out your trunk so you're not lugging around extra weight. The heavier your car, the harder it has to work to move.
• Take your car in for a check up to make sure it's operating at its full potential.
