With the cost of gas going up you’ll want to make sure that every cent you spend on gas is worth it. Here are a few tips.
- Remove any extra weight or unnecessary items that might be weighing your vehicle down. This will make it easier on both your automobile and your gas.
- Use cruise control when you’re on the highway. This keeps you from unnecessarily having to speed up and slow down, which burns gas.

- Turn off your engine when idling at the drive-thru lane at fast food restaurants or the bank or when you’re waiting for a train to pass.
- Keep your car tuned up so that you can get the best gas mileage.
- Avoid quickly speeding up or slowing down between stop signs. Doing this burns through your gas.
- Make sure that you change your air filter every 15,000 miles.
- You can also opt to take public transportation. Not only will this save you gas and money, it’s better for the environment.
