Most people are looking for ways to save money on gasoline. There are many ways to do this, some of which may be surprising.
1. Keep your tires inflated adequately, so your car is only working as challenging as it needs to.
2. Consider investing in a fuel-efficient vehicle when you're ready for an upgrade - modern cars have come a long way in fuel efficiency and can save you quite a bit over time!
3. Avoid 'jackrabbit' starts and stops
accelerating quickly and braking hard uses more gas than taking it easy on the accelerator pedal and coasting whenever possible.
4. Don't idle unnecessarily - idling uses gas without getting you anywhere! Turn off your engine and save fuel if you're stuck in traffic or at a red light.
5. Avoid carrying around unnecessary weight - having excess baggage and equipment in the car can cause extra drag, making the engine work harder than necessary.
6. Maintain your vehicle regularly to ensure it's running as efficiently as possible - schedule oil changes and tune-ups to keep everything in tip-top shape!
7. Use cruise control whenever you can
keeping your speed steady will help save fuel over time.
