Gas
Saving Tips 1 - Get in the habit of using cruise
control. Although this isn't an option during bumper-to-bumper
rush hour, using cruise control eliminates the constant need
to accelerate and break on the highway. Going at a steady speed
on a relatively level road will better your gas mileage. On
a side note, keep in mind that cruise control is definitely
not gas efficient on hilly roads. Another advantage to using
cruise control is that it monitors those of you who may have
lead feet- gas is very costly along with speeding tickets!
Gas
Saving Tips 2 - Keep windows up. When the windows are down,
the smooth aerodynamics of a car at high speeds can be hindered
with the drag it creates. In the dog days of summer, however,
having the windows down can be advantageous over blasting the
air conditioner.
Gas
Saving Tips 3 - Periodically service your car. What may
seem like minor steps can actually make big leaps in saving
gas. Frequently changing your oil, air filters, and spark plugs
will improve fuel efficiency. These expenses will be recouped
from the money you will save from gas.
Gas
Saving Tips 4 - Make sure your tires are properly filled
with air. For obvious reasons, this will increase fuel economy.
Gas
Saving Tips 5 - Remove any and all clutter. Do not feel
the need to lug your life around in your trunk. Eliminating
excessive weight from your car will help with saving gas.
Gas
Saving Tips 6 - Easy accelerations and gentle on the breaks.
During stop-and-go traffic, avoid accelerating. Instead, simply
release your brakes. There is no need to rush, because you're
not getting anywhere. In this situation accelerating abruptly
only leads to abrupt stops.
Gas
Saving Tips 7 - Consolidate your errands into one trip.
Prioritize and plan your driving route before leaving to run
errands. Jot down in order, the places you need to go. This
way, you won't have to make numerous trips to get your tasks
done. This a productive habit to acquire in the department of
your financial and personal life
Gas
Saving Tips 8 - Ditch the car. The most economical solution
to saving gas is finding other forms of transportation. Invest
in a bike, skateboard, scooter, and even a moped. Although mopeds
are powered by gas, the fuel efficiency is by far favorable
in comparison to cars. Some of these forms of transportation
may not always be realistic, but take advantage of them whenever
possible. If driving is necessary, always consider the option
of carpooling.
