Gas prices are getting close to an all time high. Here are a few tips to save gas you can start using right now to off set this.
Could you imaging decreasing your gas costs by 20%? Well, if you take an active role in managing you fuel consumption, this is possible.
Another way to actually look at this is to increase your gas mileage. A 20% increase in gas mileage is the same thing as a 20% reduction in gas costs.
Today, you can begin by just slowing down. When you drive the speed limit, you are already saving gas. Plus, you really do not get anywhere that much faster, and it is safer. So, I guess there could be 3 reasons for this one.
Second, make sure the gas cap is on tight. If it is loose, you will end up with too much oxygen in the tank, which will cause more gas to be left over after the engine uses it. This is a real simple fix. Just make sure the gas cap is on pretty tight after each fill up. I always ensure my cap clicks once.
You also uses less gas when the car is aligned properly. But for this tip, just make sure the aire in the tires is inflated to the optimal pressure rating, which is listed on the side of the tires. You will notice an immediate difference in the drivability of the car. This, in turn, will take less gas to make it go forward.
The most uninformed habit out there by millions is buying super unleaded fuel. There is no need in this. I really don't care what the car manuals tell you, your car runs just as efficiently on regular unleaded as it does super unleaded. This change alone will save you 5-6% in gas.
There are so many tips to save gas out there, and these are only a few of them. With the economics and the market prices of gas currently, I would suggest we all do our part and put in place as many tips to save gas as we can.
