# Save GAS, pay LESS fees

### **Using an older version of MetaMask Extension?**

These instructions apply to v10.29.0 or newer. In versions older than v10.29.0, you may need to first turn on 'Advanced gas controls' in settings.

When you start to send a transaction, you'll see an icon above your gas details. This will likely read 'Low', 'Market, or 'Aggressive' depending on the last setting you used:&#x20;

Clicking on this button will allow you to choose between these three options. These describe the amount of gas you're choosing to pay, and have these main implications:

* '**Low**' involves paying less for gas, and most likely waiting longer for your transaction to complete.
* '**Market**' sets your gas to reflect the current market rates.
* '**Aggressive**' enables you to be more forceful with your transaction, and have it completed as soon as possible by paying more.
