The price of gas is one of those things that we have little control over, yet is a necessity for many in their every day life. Here are a few tips to reduce your usage and put more time between trips to the pump.
~ Plan your trips carefully. If you drive to work, plan to complete as many errands as you can when you are to and from work to avoid a full trip another time.
~ When going shopping, make sure you check out all the store deals and have your lists ready. Think about your route or check a map to make the most efficient drive when you are out.
~ Carpool. Check out carpool website…..
~ Make sure your car is properly maintained. Check your tire pressure, oil level and more to make sure your car is running it’s most efficient.
~ Don’t speed. You use more gas per mile at higher speeds. Slow down to save money.
~ Lighten up. Avoid carrying extra weight around in your car. Remove any heavy items from your trunk and avoid storing things in your car long term.
~ Don't leave your car running. It's tempting in the winter to leave a vehicle sitting with the heat on or in the summer to blast the AC while you step out, but these systems quickly eat up the gas in your tank.
~ Use gas reward and discount programs.
