Tips on saving gas?

Question

Any and all would be helpful! With the raising price of gas I'm trying to cut corners any way I can and save a few bucks here and there.

Answer 1

get a basket to carry groceries for ur bike any ride under 2.5 miles, ride ur bike instead of driving

Answer 2

Slow down, obey the speed limit, use cruise control on the hwy, remove any excess weight from the trunk, or do what I plan to do, buy a very small car w/ a manual trans. Also, check tire pressure, make your errands efficient by doing everything together in one trip. Park at the store(s) centrally and walk from store to store even if it's across the street. Use a bike for short trips in town. Make one day a week the day you won't drive at all. Saving money is really all about thinking things through and being efficient. If you have a friend who insists on using her car, then use her car. Selfish I know, but if she's the one who wants to burn up gas, then let her have at it. You get to ride along for free. G'day!

Answer 10

Changing your driving style only saves a percentage - nothing major.

Still, do it, of course.

The biggest savings are in not using the vehicle.

Answer 11

when ur driving ur car down a hill, shift it to neutral and turn the engine off and float down

Note: ur car will lose its power steering and power brakes, but it will still steer and the brakes will still work, but it will take more physical effort
