SAVING ON FUEL

1. Car tuneup: The best way to reduce fuel consumption is to keep your car healthy. One of the simple things that most people don't do is to keep the tires inflated properly. Underinflated tires make the car consume more gas and also causes the tires to wear quickly. Also, get a car tuneup at your trustworthy mechanic shop.

2. Carpool: You can save significant amount of money by participating in carpool rather than driving alone. Carpool also has other benefits. It lowers commute stress and enjoy your ride as well. It also saves money on parking and car maintenance. Many insurance companies offer discounts on car insurance if you prove you are in a carpooling program and do not use your car for work or school.

3. Buy the cheapest gas: Buy the lowest grade of gas that is suggested in your car owner's maual. The price difference is about 20 cents between the lowest grade and the high octane gas. This will save you hundreds of dollars per year. As long as your engine does not "knock", you are fine with the lower grade fuel. Do not forget to use fuel injection cleaner.

4. Use the internet to find the cheapest gas in your area. Websites like GasBuddy helps you find the lowest gas prices in your area. Do not drive too far or do not wait in long lines to save something like 2 cents per gallon.

5. Credit cards: There are credit cards that give upto 5% cashback on gas purchases. Get a good credit card with no annual fees and use it for gas. However, if the gas stations charge more if you use credit cards, pay with cash to save that extra money.

6. Fill up when your gas tank is less than quarter tank full and fill up to a full gas tank to avoid making additional trips. Filling your gas tank in the early morning (when the air temperature is low) may not give you more gas.

7. Smart driving: Do not make sudden stops or start your engine fast. Your car engine will consume more gas everytime you do this. Gradual acceleration and decelaration makes your engine run better and consume less fuel and save money. Watch your speed. Driving at 60 mph rather than 80 mph will save you money by improving your fuel economy. Gas evaporates easily especially in summer time, so do not forget to tightly close the gas cap. Do not use air conditioning unless it is needed. Use of AC can lower your fuel economy by 10 percent.

8. Consolidate your trips: Avoid making many short trips. Instead make a plan of your route before you leave your house and take the shortest possible trip to save money on gas.

9. Drive lightweight: Do you know mpg decreases as the car engine hauls more weight? Take the unnecessary heavy stuff from your car (don't forget to check the trunk) and make your car happy.

10. Car shopping: If you are shopping for a new car, buy a fuel efficient car to save money on gas. Consider buying a smaller car as they are lighter and give better mileage and is perfect for students. Hybrid cars give excellent gas mileage and also tax benefits. Consider buying a motorcycle or a scooter instead of a car.
