I learned when I first started doing it that planning in advance is the best way. I learned garbage days for different companies and planned out a route to follow on different days to max my efficiency kind of like usps or fedex and places to burn less gas. also I combine trips like if I am going to get groceries and stuff I work along those routes and most of the time even end up paying for what I just bought. I also live in a smaller college town of about 80,000. so i stick to a budget of $50 week so about 14-16gal depending on gas prices.
I also have a place on each side of town to be able to drop off bigger items like grills that may fill my truck faster to help with gas on trips since I work from both places
