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.
