How to Save Money on Gas

With the economy at its current position, consumers are faced with greater financial responsiblity. Use these easy steps to get the most out of the gas you buy and save you money at the pump.

1. A very simple and easy way to save on gas is to give your vehicle an oil change every 3,000 miles. Performing basic and routine maintenance can save you up to 30% at the gas pump.

2. Haul as little weight as possible. Indefinitely keeping your golf clubs in the back is only weighing your vehicle down and making it work harder, thus, decreasing your miles per gallon.

3. Replacing your air filter once a year can save you 10% in gas costs. If you are not mechanically inclined, many oil change garages can replace your air filter for you.

4. You can save up to 3% of gas costs by keeping your tires properly inflated.

5. Shut off your engine. If you idle for 30 seconds it would be cheaper to just cut the engine.

6. Lastly, stop driving so aggressively! Gradual acceleration can save gas up to 33% highway and 5% city.
