Save money on gas

Before the year 2008 ended we witnessed a major downfall of gas prices. I was so excited about it. Though we only used one car it was still a big help for our budget when the gas prices went down. I know most of you were very happy too. There were times that my hubby thought about picking up his motorcycle from his friend’s house to take home so that he can use it going to work everyday. There are much more risks when driving a motorcycle than driving a car. Save money on gaswith several different techniques, but it's not good driving on the Interstate road.
There are so many ways to save money on gas. I know if you are like me you are excited to find out too. Here are several ways how to save money on gas like:
  • Remove unnecessary weight from your vehicle. Extra items in your car cause it to use more fuel. Remove extra weight like car seats, tools, baggage, etc. when they are not being used.
  • Slower driving improves fuel efficiency.Maintaining the appropriate speed limit conserves much more fuel than putting the pedal to the metal.
  • Roll your windows up on the interstate. While you may believe you are saving money when rolling your windows down, at high speeds, it actually increases the drag of your car. If you are driving at slow speeds around town, then rolling the windows down is more efficient. In town, roll them down, on the interstate, roll them up.
