Gas prices are on their way up... here are a few ways to save our poor wallets:
[image property of vtcleancities.blogspot.com]
- Use public transportation when possible
- Walk/bike when you can
- Carpool
- Drive the speed limit as reducing your speed can save up to 14% on gas [abcnews.go.com]
- Fill up in the morning/late in the evening when evaporation due to the sun is at a minimum
- Avoid crowded paths to reduce idling time
- Keep your vehicle in good shape e.g. oil filters, tire pressure etc
- Only carry essentials in your car as extra weight can increase gas consumption
- Speed up gradually instead of flooring the gas pedal to conserve your tank
Hope these tips help!
