Buy gas where it is
cheapest. All the brands fill their tanker trucks at the same
refineries. Each brand adds a few gallons of their own additives to
their tanker. All additives must meet EPA and OEM standards so you can
save money on gas by buying where the gas is cheapest.
Gas prices almost always go up for holidays. Save money on gas by buying
three days before a holiday.
Save money on gas by changing the oil regularly. Use a synthetic oil.
Your engine will run better and give you better mileage.
Properly maintaining your car will keep your car running as efficiently
as possible. Give your car a tune up to save money on gas.
Check your air filter every time you change your oil. Clogged air
filters cause engines to work harder and use more gas.
Use a fuel system treatment occasionally. You will save money on gas by
helping your car run more efficiently.
There is very little difference between 55MPH and 60MPH, unless you are
on a very long trip. Going faster on a highway for a short trip will
yield nothing but aggravation as you keep catching up to slower traffic.
Save money on gas by slowing down to the speed limit.
Fuel with ethanol may be less expensive than standard gas, but consider
the reduced fuel economy. You may or may not save
money on gas by filling up with ethanol fuel. Figure your gas mileage
using ethanol to determine if ethanol is for you.
Save money on gas by buying a smaller car. Smaller cars are lighter and
get better mileage.
Safe driving habits will save a lot more money on gas than risky
driving, and maybe even save lives. Slow down.
