636 Financial tips and laws for today and tomorrow

Here are the best tips you can use to save on gas.

Tip 1: Reduce the load

Make sure to clean out the back seat and trunk of your car regularly. Less weight will reduce the strain on your engine.

Tip 2: Combine trips

Instead of going out multiple times, club multiple errands into one trip to save energy.

Tip 3: Detach roof racks to improve aerodynamics

Remove the roof rack when not in use. Or use a hitch-mounted cargo carrier instead.

Tip 4: Drive smartly, not slow

Coast when passing stops instead of slamming brakes and keep your car steady when accelerating.

Tip 5: Don’t idle

Shut off the engine when you’re stopping somewhere or stuck in traffic.

Tip 6: Manually check the pressure

Use a low-cost handheld tire gauge and check the tire pressure at least once a month.

Tip 7: Subscribe to fuel-saving programs

You can use apps like GasBuddy to check and even compare gas prices at gas stations- all in real time.
