But if you’d just rather get some of my best tips to save money on gas, then here are my top tips to save money on gas:
1) Stop driving like you’re running from the cops. Driving like it’s a NASCAR tryout results in NASCAR like gas mileage. Slow down, take corners slower, slow down sooner, and accelerate more slowly.
2) Get That Junk Outta Ya Trunk. I’m not saying you gotta go have liposuction, but if you’ve got all kinds of extra stuff sitting in the trunk of your car, get it outta there.
3) Get a gas card. This is a super simple way to save up to twenty cents per gallon on gas. I’ve put together a list of my favorite gas cards here. Get one, they’re free.
4) Use a gas price checker. The price of gas at gas stations can vary by as much as twenty cents per gallon and prices change on a daily basis. Use a little program like this one to help you find the cheapest gas in your area just by sticking in your zip code.
5) Stop Idling. If you’re at a railroad crossing waiting for a train. Turn off your engine. If you stop at McDonald’s for some fast food, go inside instead of using the drive thru.
6) Keep your tires inflated. It’s estimated that up to 80% of people have underinflated tires and this is causing you to spend more money than necessary on gas.
