Tips to Maximizing Fuel Economy in today's climate of high gas prices
High costs at the pump have you troubled? Find yourself at the pump yet again dishing out another $50 - $100? Well, you're not alone. The rising price of gas is on most of our minds and pocketbooks these days leaving us wondering if and when there will be a reprieve.
Until gas prices do normalize, there are some things that you can do to stretch that next tank of gas. Here are 10 tips that should save you a few extra bucks at the pump:
1. Instead of running multiple errands, consolidate your trips into one thus eliminating significant and unneccessary travel.
2. In congested, urban areas, avoid rush hour traffic. Grid lock and its start and stop travel is one of the quickest ways to drain that gas tank.
3. Resist the temptation to drive alone. Car pool with your co-workers. Carpooling with three of your colleagues means you only drive every fourth week saving you a bundle in fuel costs over the course of a year.
