Are You Running on Empty?
Do you drive extra miles just to save a few cents on gas? Is your fuel gauge more of a focus than your speedometer? Are rising gas prices driving you crazy?
Don't worry?"there's hope. How about getting a bicycle? But seriously, here are some practical tips to save fuel without ditching your car.
Many fuel-saving strategies are easy and free.
Check Your Tire Pressure:
When was the last time you checked your tire pressure? Under-inflated tires are a major cause of excess fuel consumption. It's simple to check your tire pressure with an inexpensive gauge. If you're unsure how, your local mechanic can show you (a free drink might persuade them).
Timing Your Fuel Purchases:
When you buy gas affects how much you get. Fuel is sold by volume, and liquids expand when warm. So, buying gas during the hottest part of the day means you get less than if you buy it when it's cooler. The optimal time? Just before dawn.
With many stores open 24/7, consider doing your shopping and filling your tank when roads are quieter. You'll avoid traffic and use less fuel.
Find the Best Prices:
Take advantage of websites that list the cheapest gas prices in your area.
Wash Your Car:
Keeping your car clean reduces drag and saves fuel. Why do you think competitive swimmers shave their heads? Or why do downhill skiers wear sleek suits?
Make car washing an enjoyable family activity. Get everyone involved, and maybe even hose down the dog and kids. Watch out in winter, though!
Avoid Needless Revving:
Revving your engine at traffic lights may impress others, but it wastes gas. Revving 15 times can use enough fuel to travel a mile. Keep this in mind the next time you're at the pump.
Regular Maintenance:
Is your car due for a service? Skipping maintenance can lead to increased fuel consumption. While servicing costs money, it saves more in the long run. Issues like blocked air filters, worn spark plugs, and sticking brakes can all affect fuel efficiency.
Drive Safely:
Avoid tailgating. Keeping a safe distance reduces the need for hard braking, which in turn saves fuel. Pay attention to traffic ahead and anticipate the need to slow down. In wet conditions, look for brake light reflections on the road surface to adjust speed early.
By incorporating these simple changes, you can enhance fuel efficiency and keep costs down while driving safely.
