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.
