How To Save Gas And Money

How To Save Gas And Money

The price of gas is going up, up, up!

For those summer road trips, often, the small things we do can add up to big savings. So if you are looking to spend less time at the pump, consider these money-saving tips:

  • Skip the car completely.
  • Lighten your load - extra weight decreases fuel economy.
  • Avoid long idles - idling for only one minute consumes the same amount of gas that is required for starting your engine.
  • Plan your trip ahead of time - consolidate your trip to places that are close to one another.
  • Open the windows - Instead of blasting the air conditioning on a hot day, open the windows or use your car vents, which circulate outside air.
  • Get your oil changed - stay up-to-date on oil changes; they should be done every 4828 km.
  • Drive slower - you can improve your fuel economy by approximately 20 per cent by driving 88 km/h instead of 104 km/h.
  • Keep up on tire maintenance - keep your tires properly inflated and aligned and get regular maintenance checks.
  • Accelerate slowly from a dead stop.
  • Use the right octane level.

Buying A New Car?

Considering buying a new or used vehicle? Before making a purchase, check the fuel economy ratings of similar vehicles of interest to you. Then, narrow down your options on a model that is fuel-efficient in the size category that meets your needs.
