Small Steps to Save Money on Gasoline
- Eliminate trunk junk.
Hauling extra weight lowers
your fuel economy, so slimming
down your cargo will help
your car go further on less
gas.
- Bunch your trips. Pick
up groceries on your
way from taking the kids
to school, pick up the dry
cleaning when you pick them
up. By combining errands
and planning your stops for
the most-efficient route,
you’ll save
both time and money.
- Take
care of your car. Under-inflated
tires waste gas, and
keeping your car tuned will
reduce waste as well.
- Tighten
up when you fill up. Securing
the gas cap will keep gasoline
from evaporating from your
tank. And don’t
top off the gas tank,
or the extra gas may simply
seep out.
- Be winter-wise. Remove snow tires in good weather, since deep tread and big tires use more fuel. And avoid long warm-ups to avoid burning excess gas.
