There are many ways to save money on gas and get better gas mileage, whether you are driving across town or across the country.
Schedule your travel time efficiently.
You know how much you hate sitting in stand-still traffic? It’s a pain. Not only does it ruin your mood but it can negatively affect your gas mileage. If you’re planning to take a trip, make sure you schedule your travel time accordingly. If you need to run errands, try picking a time where there won’t be too much traffic so that you can get in and get out quickly. This will cut down on the amount of gas you will use as well as the time you spend in your car.
Reduce weight.
Did you know that loading up a vehicle with too much weight can make it burn more gas and cost you more money to fill up? If you are looking for ways to reduce the amount of gas your car uses, you might want to reconsider the weight of the things going in and out of your vehicle. Make sure that all unnecessary items are out of your vehicle such as bags or boxes. This will keep your vehicle light and can help you save up on gasoline.
Avoid speeding.
We know you probably want to experiment with speed when you're driving a new vehicle, but you'll actually end up paying the price at the pump. Exceeding the limit of 50 miles per hour can drain your gas mileage as much as 7-14%. Keeping it on cruise control can improve your fuel efficiency and take dollars off of your gas bill.
Pump gas when the temperature is coolest.
It's winter time and you need to fill up your gas tank. Guess what? There might be an opportunity to actually save on gas mileage. When you pump gas at lower temperatures, you'll typically get more fuel in every gallon because it's denser.
Don't let your vehicle idle for too long.
Unless you’re sitting in a bit of traffic, it’s always best to turn off your vehicle when you’re not driving. This helps save on gas and is good for the environment. If you do find yourself stuck in traffic, try turning off your climate controls as well to make sure you’re not wasting too much fuel.
