Here are a couple ways I came across to save on your gas bills.





Drive Sensibly


Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes
gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and
by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and
others, so you may save more than gas money.





Observe the Speed Limit


Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.


Each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.15 per gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.





Remove Excess Weight

Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy
ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up
to 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight
relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than
larger ones.





High gas prices have been a drain for me. I hope this helps,
