Everyone has the desire to save money. It doesn’t matter if you are driving a gas guzzler or a fuel efficient car you can do the following to reduce the amount of money spent on fuel
- The biggest fuel savers are from car pooling and public transportation. You might not live in a city where public transportation is available but you can find someone to car pool with. Car pooling can reduce the amount you spend on fuel by 50%! Even if you have to make a small sacrifice it is worth it when you can reduce your spending on fuel by 50%.
- Reduce unnecessary weight. Remove unnecessary items/weight can save you on fuel.
- Watch your speed. Going 80 MPH might get you to your destination quicker but it won’t save you on fuel consumption and while it can be fun to go from 0 to 60 in a matter of a few second it uses more fuel to do so. Accelerating slowly is the best way to go. Once you get up to speed use cruise to keep it steady.
- Keep your tires inflated properly. This is often overlooked but if your tires are not inflated properly it will reduce your miles per gallon. To get the right inflation pressure look on the car’s doorjamb or the owner’s manual and not the tire’s sidewall.
There are a lot of things you can do to improve your fuel economy. Stay tuned for more tips in the near future!
