Gas Cost Savings - Cheap And Effective Methods

Do you drive "the extra mile" so you can get your fuel at a a little bit cheaper price

? Do you think twice about driving someplace, afraid of what you'll have to pay to refill the tank, with fuel prices increasing all the time? Before you get to the point of swapping your four wheels for two with pedals, try a few things that should ease the burden.

Actually, there are several easy things, which also tend to be free, that you can do to reduce fuel consumption. How often do you remember to check your tire pressure? Under-inflated tires cause elevated fuel consumption, so you can save gas by just making certain that your tires are at the right pressure. Get yourself a tire gauge and get into the habit, which will save you gas without costing anything. It's well worth knowing that what you spend for the fuel you get is affected by what time of day you stop to refuel.

Liquids expand while it gets warmer and compress with cold, and, since gasoline is liquid, it figures that you'll get the best deal at the coldest time of day. Since there is a great deal of 24 hour shopping, wake up early to beat all of the traffic, which will allow you to save fuel without being stuck in traffic. You'll notice websites that will tell you which gas stations have the cheapest gas, but if you have to go far out of the way to get it, the purpose will end up being defeated. Lots of people love to wash their car because they prefer the way a clean car looks, but did you know that washing your car can save you fuel.

A clean car is going to cause less drag, just like swimmers shaving off all of their body hair, or skiers wearing skin-tight racing suits, to go faster. Car-washing can get tedious, so insure that it is fun and get the entire family involved. Children really enjoy splashing each other and getting wet, as long as it's not cold out. Now, you know the engine-revving that teenagers - not you, of course - do at stop lights? This might come as a shock: rev your engine simply 15 times and you've kissed adios to enough gas to take you a mile. Perhaps it isn't much, unless you do it often. Ponder over it next time you wind up stuck without having gas.

Most likely can't stand taking your car or truck in to get it serviced, but it is a good idea, if you want to get the best gas mileage. It's actually a trade-off in the short term, between the extra gas you pay for when the car isn't running optimally, and the amount you pay to have it serviced. It is truly essential to have new spark plugs, clean air filters, and clean oil, along with oil filter.
