Saving on Car Fuel
These are quick and simple tips to save on your car fuel:
1. Check you tire pressure. The tire pressure can be found on the tire itself or check your car’s manual.
2. Check your trunk and get what you don’t need out. This is a common principal of car racing. If the car weight less it will go faster. For you, if the car weights less you don’t need that much gas to get to your cruising speed.
3. Plan your trips before you go out. Maybe you want to do assign one day of the week to do your errands and properly plan the route for the best efficient and less mile route.
4. Don’t use the A/C as much… well this obviously will depend where you at. If you leave in Florida, this could be a challenging one. But Florida also has it nice days so enjoy. Roll down the window and put your radio on!
5. Control your accelerator pedal... be gentle when you coming off from a red light. Anyways you are not drag racing and probably you will need to stop at the next light anyways.
6. Don’t top off when fueling. You may slop or seep out the excess gas.
7. Tighten up the gas cap. You want to avoid any gas evaporation.
8. Replace your car air filter. This is very important one!
9. Make sure your car is tune-up. Replace spark plugs if needed
