Fuel Saving Tips
Fuel prices are through the roof and
are only expected to escalate in the future, so
it's more important than ever to know how to
conserve your gas dollars. While we're all aware of the obvious ways to
minimize gas expenditures such as, among others, biking,
taking public transportation or buying a more
fuel-efficient vehicle, these may not always be
practical. Here are a few simple
fuel saving tips that will help reduce your transportation
costs:
Car Maintenance is Important. Improve your fuel economy by doing a few small
checkups on your car, such as changing the oil
regularly and having the engine tuned. Maintain
the proper tire pressure in your tires.
Purchase a GPS System. Whether you're doing errands around town or
taking an extended road trip, GPS software can
easily map the best route, and some can even
help you dodge snarls and other hang-ups. GPS mapping software with a points-of-interest
database can help you find gas stations, hotels,
stores, parks and more, so you can find all
the comforts of home while on the road.
Do Not Drive Aggressively. Excessive braking, speeding and sudden speed
changes all waste gas. Whoever coined the phrase
"put the pedal to the metal" probably
didn't realize that driving like a maniac will
cost you big money. While on the freeway, keep
your cruise control on and avoid following other
cars too closely, which may lead to unnecessary
braking.
Be Smart at the Pump. It always pays to shop around for the cheapest
gas in your neighborhood. In addition, check
your car's owner's manual for the lowest recommended
octane gas for your specific car model and fill
up on that. Not only is lower-octane gas cheaper,
but most modern cars are engineered to run most
efficiently on lower-octane fuel.
