Tips for Saving Money on Gas
As gas prices continue to soar, many drivers are feeling the pinch on their wallets. Thankfully, there are strategies that can help you make the most out of every gallon. The experts at the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) suggest a few effective tips to improve your fuel efficiency and save money.
1. Adjust Your Driving Habits
Speeding significantly reduces fuel efficiency. By reducing your speed and avoiding sudden acceleration, you can increase your miles per gallon by 15% or more. Anticipate traffic conditions and try to use cruise control when possible.2. Use Air Conditioning and Windows Wisely
At highway speeds, keeping your windows closed minimizes air drag, improving mileage even with the air conditioning on. However, try to limit AC use in stop-and-go traffic where it is less efficient.3. Plan Your Trips
Combine errands into one trip and travel during off-peak times to avoid congestion. Turn off your engine while waiting to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.4. Minimize Vehicle Weight
Clear out unnecessary items from your car to reduce weight. After vacations, remove unused items like rooftop cargo carriers to improve fuel economy.5. Maintain Your Tires
Ensure that your tires are properly inflated and check for alignment issues. Misaligned wheels cause uneven tread wear and force your engine to work harder.6. Stick to Your Vehicle’s Service Schedule
Follow the maintenance schedule in your owner’s manual, including replacing filters and fluids as needed. Address any engine performance issues, such as rough idling or poor acceleration, by visiting an ASE-certified technician.7. Keep Your Engine in Top Condition
A faulty oxygen sensor or misfiring spark plug can decrease fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance helps prevent minor issues from becoming costly repairs.Founded in 1972, ASE aims to enhance the quality of automotive service through the certification of technicians. Look for ASE-certified professionals, who can be identified by their blue-and-white shoulder insignia and credentials detailing their areas of expertise.
By adopting these practices, you can enjoy a smoother ride while reducing your expenses at the pump.
