7 Tips To Improve Your Gas Mileage

With gas prices still on the rise, I wanted to share with you ways to save money on gas. I thought these were the best because they were free.

1. Don’t use the air conditioner unless you need it. This is a good one for driving at slower speeds. When you are on the highway, then please close your windows.

2. Make sure that your tires are properly inflated. Okay this may not be a free option because some places could charge you to use the air but it usually only cost a quarter. It’s well worth the money to make sure that you have the right amount of air in your tires.

3. Clean out your car. By reducing the weight in your car by as much as possible, you increase your gas mileage.

4. Use your cruise control. By using your cruise control you not only alleviate some strain on your foot, you also stay at a nice steady speed and your vehicle will run more efficiently. The more efficiently your car can run, the better your gas mileage will be.

5. Reduce your speed. Since we are on the subject of cruising. Keeping your highway speed at 55 mph can significantly improve your gas mileage.

6. Avoid traffic. This one can be a tough one depending on where you live. But if you can adjust your schedule so that you are commuting when traffic is less congested, you will save a lot of money by saving gas.

7. Fill up when temperatures are cooler. The gas pumps deliver more gas when the temperature is lower.

We may not be able to do anything about the price of gasoline at the pumps. We can do something about how often we have to put gas in our vehicles. Do whatever you can to improve your gas mileage. Some other tips for saving on gasoline that you may have to spend some money on include: making sure that your car is properly tuned up, use a good engine oil, when you are in the market for a new car, buy a car that get better gas mileage than the one you currently have. And as always, I recommend using my famous gas pill that can improve your gas mileage by as much as 30%. It pays for itself each and every time you put fuel in your vehicle.
