12 Easy Ways to Save Money on Gas!

1. Get a gas rebate credit card. Certain cards from Chase, and Discover offer up to 5% back on your gas purchases.

2. Get a station credit card. Retail Service Stations like Hess, Speedway and Marathon offer up to 10% back on your gas purchases.

3. Give your car a tune up. Properly turned cards use less gas which saves you money.

4. Consider buying a hybrid car. Hybrid cars give you instant savings at the pump! Also, the U.S. and some state governments offer tax breaks for individuals who use gas saving cars. The Federal deduction can be as high as $2000. The 2004 Honda Insight, which is a hybrid, gets 57 miles per gallon.

5. If a hybrid car is out of your price range, consider cars offering higher miles per gallon like the Toyota Echo.

6. Use your car's air conditioner less. Running your car's air conditioning puts extra strain on your car's engine, which means it uses up more gas per mile. This means more trips to the pump = you spend more
money!

7. Don't fall for High Octane hype! Most modern cars run just with the lower octane gas.

8. Check your tire's air pressure weekly. Buy an inexpensive manual air pump and an accurate tire gauge (not a pencil gauge as they are not accurate). Keep all tires inflated to the same pressure recommended for
your car.

9. Drive at a consistent speed and use the cruise control when possible. Avoid breaking or accelerating too quickly. Racing your car's engine burns fuel!

10. Observe the speed limit as your gas mileage decreases quickly at speeds above 60 mph. Each 5 mph driven over 60 mph is like paying an additional 10 cents per gallon.

11. Coast up to traffic jams by lifting your foot off the gas pedal instead of approaching at full speed and slamming on the brakes. It takes 20% more gas to accelerate to normal speed from a full stop than it does
from four or five miles per hour.

12. Don't warm your car up by letting it idle. The engine warms up faster when driving than it does when idling, and idling wastes about a quart of gas every 15 minutes.
