If you don't have a fuel efficient auto (actually, even if you do...) you are surely feeling the pain associated with rising gas prices. To help you save your money for more important things we have compiled a top ten list for fuel conservation tips.

 

 

How to save cash...

1. Keep your speeds constant and below 55 mph whenever possible

2. Don't waste money on premium fuel or additives unless you need them. Check you owners manual for details.

3. Empty your trunk. Extra weight in the car lowers gas mileage.

4. Check traffic reports on the Internet or radio before leaving for work.

5. Avoid quick and erratic starts. Accelerate and decelerate smoothly.

6. Repair dents and dings. These increase resistance and drag.

7. Car pool, take the bus, or ride a bike.

8. Keep your tires properly inflated.

9. Keep your engine tuned and your air and oil filters clean.

10. Plan you trips and errands to avoid unnecessary city driving.
