Ways To Deal With The Increasing Cost Of Petrol
Gas prices continue to rise, and many of us have a harder and harder time making ends meet
. It seems like this battle against rising prices may never end, and the thought of driving our cars becomes a more difficult one to swallow when you consider the overall costs involved with paying for gas over time. A big part of our paychecks now goes toward gas if we drive long distances, and many of us can't handle such an expense! But fear not, following a few simple guidelines can help you to stretch your money a bit further at the gas pump.Gasoline will be denser in the early morning or late at night due to the colder temperature. You'll be getting more for your money if you pump gas during these times when the gas is denser.
Do you shop around for the best gas price, or do you go to the station closest to your home? Most people simply visit the nearest gas station out of convenience, even if that means a markup of a few dollars per visit for the same amount of gas. While it is true that driving around looking for lower-priced gas actually uses more gas, it may be worth your time to compare gas prices online before driving to a gas station.
Want your car to burn gas more efficiently? Keep it well maintained, and don't forget to have it tuned. Tuning a car can reduce fuel consumption, often by 20 percent!
Change your oil and air filters regularly, and don't forget about your tires. Underinflated tires can raise fuel consumption by 6 percent! If you are not keeping your tires inflated and aligned properly, you may be buying more gas than you should need.
Did you know that you can save money by staying within the posted speed limits? It's true - the faster you drive the more fuel your car will burn. You can also improve fuel efficiency by using the overtime gear whenever you can. This will reduce wear and tear on you engine.
Try combining errands rather than doing them on different days. Cold starting your engine uses more gas than starting an engine that is already warm, so going to the grocery store and the bank today uses less gas than going to the grocery store today and the bank tomorrow.
These are easy ways to reduce your gas consumption, which is not only good for your wallet, but is good for the environment as well!
