Worried about the high price at the pump? Aside from driving your vehicle less, is there anything else you can do to save money on gas? The answer is yes. In fact, there are a number of things that will keep your vehicle in shape, prevent wear and tear and save you gas at the same time.
1-. Keep tires properly inflated and the engine properly tuned.
2. Change the oil regularly. Your car manual should indicate how often is ideal for your make and model.
3. Don’t keep your automobile in idle for long periods of time. You don’t need more than a couple of minutes to warm up the engine.
4. Drive slow. Speeds of over 60 mph waste a lot of gas.
5. Replace spark plugs when they get too dirty or worn out.
6. Unload your vehicle. The heavier your car is, the more gas it uses. Empty out your trunk and don’t put items on the back seat or the roof rack unless you are going to use that day.
7. Replace clogged air filters.
