Do I have to replace all four tires at the same time?

I went to a car body shop for regular maintenance. The technician said that one of my tires had a large crack and needed to be replaced. He suggested that all four tires should be replaced at the same time. Why is that and do I really have to replace them at the same time?

Why my gas bill is so high?

I’m a renter and I live in an old apartment. My gas bill was usually at around $30 per month. During these two recent months, my gas bill was three times as high as before. I didn’t do anything unusual and I kept my smart thermometer at the same temperature. Why is it so high? What can I do to reduce it?
