Saving Money On Gas
With gas prices near record levels and with the possibility of rising further,
here are some tips on cutting your gasoline bill.
Avoid buying gas with
ethanol, if possible. The lower energy content of the fuel will almost always
lower mileage. (10% or less ethanol actually helps gasoline burn more
completely, resulting in better economy) Other additives may do the same, or may
increase mileage depending upon your vehicle. Experiment to find
out.
Avoid idling. While idling, your car gets exactly 0 miles per
gallon. Although it is said that starting the car uses a lot of gas, it is still
very little compared to idling for more than a few seconds. Idling to warm up is
particularly bad, as the engine needs extra fuel to warm up. After start up,
allow your car to idle 15-30 seconds, then drive conservatively until it reaches
normal operating temperature. Park your car and go into the restaurant rather
than idling in the drive-through. Idling with the air conditioning on also uses
extra fuel.
