Tips to Save on Gas
If like me, the current prices of gasoline are pinching your pocket, then maybe it is time to assess whether you are indulging in any wasteful driving practices. There are a lot of ways you can increase your mileage and cut down on your total consumption of gas.
Don’t Drive: This is the most obvious way to cut down on gasoline consumption. If you can, walk or use a bicycle for running errands. A surprising number of things can fit into a bicycle carrier or basket. If you have to go a good distance, consider taking the bus or other public transport before backing the car out of the driveway. At the very least try to combine several errands into one trip so you save yourself gas as well as money.
Drive at Optimum Speed: Drive neither too slow not too fast. Drive at a speed that is optimum for your particular vehicle. Some vehicles show the economy zone on the speedometer; stay within that. And be consistent and steady in your driving don’t keep braking and accelerating unnecessarily.
