Though gasoline prices have gone down some since 2008, there is always a great possibility of another increase. While we hope this doesn't occur anytime soon, there is nothing wrong with saving even more money by making our car more efficient. Just by incorporating a little change in habits can save some bucks!
- Turn idling engine off
- Keep tires properly inflated
- Coast to a stop, or red light, as opposed to slamming the breaks
- Purchase gas during the coolest part of the day when gasoline is at its densest
- Combine errands. This will also save time from making unnecessary trips to the store, etc.
- Drive light: Avoid loading trunk, or back seat, down with "stuff"
- Tightly cap the gas tank. (America loses 147 million gallons of gas annually to vaporization, from loosely tank caps)
Changing a few habits, will not only save money, but will make a positive impact on the environment.
