Simple Tips To Save Gas

By Michael Baker

With the ever increasing cost of gas, we can all use a few tips to save gas. Here are a few things you can start doing right now to help out.

Savings of upwards of 20% are not unheard of if you just take an active role in managing your gas.

Another way to actually look at this is to increase your gas mileage. A 20% increase in gas mileage is the same thing as a 20% reduction in gas costs.

First, slow down. You do not need to drive so fast, or to accelerate faster than everyone else from the stop signs and the stop lights. Not only will this help on gas mileage, but it will also help with the maintenance of the car.

Your car needs oxygen to burn gas and make the engine run. But, if you have too much oxygen, there will be gas left over after the combustion takes place. This is wasted gas. The most likely culprit of this is a loose gas cap. When you replace the cap after filling up, just make sure it clicks.

You also uses less gas when the car is aligned properly. But for this tip, just make sure the aire in the tires is inflated to the optimal pressure rating, which is listed on the side of the tires. You will notice an immediate difference in the drivability of the car. This, in turn, will take less gas to make it go forward.

One last thing you can do is stop buying the super unleaded gas. It does nothing for gas mileage. This alone is a 5-6% savings in the price you are paying for gas.

There are so many tips to save gas out there, and these are only a few of them. With the economics and the market prices of gas currently, I would suggest we all do our part and put in place as many tips to save gas as we can.
