In times of rising energy costs, making your cooking or heating gas last longer at home is more important than ever. Whether you use natural gas, propane, or butane, these proven tips will help you stretch your supply, reduce waste, and lower your monthly expenses — without sacrificing comfort or convenience.

Tip: Use a lid on your pot to trap heat and cook food faster, which uses less gas.
