It seems like gas is not getting any cheaper any time soon. Fortunately there are measures you can take to curb gas consumption and save yourself a little money in the process. Check out these gas saving tips! 1. Slow Down - Many people drive 5 to 10 miles above the posted speed limit, driving the speed limit will help you to conserve fuel. It may get you to your destination a few minutes later but you can plan for this by leaving a few minutes earlier.
2. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated - The phrase “rolling resistance” refers to the friction created when the tires of your car roll along the road. When it comes to saving gas, you want your tires’ rolling resistance to be as low as possible. Lower resistance = less friction = less fuel consumption!
3. Keep Up Your Car Maintenance - Making sure your vehicle is properly maintained is key to saving money at the pump. Simply replacing your air filter on a regular basis can improve engine performance and gas mileage.
4. When To Run The A/C - It has been said by many that running the air conditioner can burn through gas quickly. This is true only if you are doing city driving or are in stop-and-go traffic. If you are not driving on the highway, by all means, open the windows instead of running the A/C.
5. Be A Frugal Shopper - When looking for a place to fill up, be choosy. It is perfectly reasonable to look for a gas station with the lowest price. You don’t have to drive around to do it either. Thanks to advances in technology, you can now use a smartphone to look up gas prices with cheap-gas-finding apps.
