3. Get a tune up. Regular maintenance will help your care run better, last longer, and can improve your gas mileage up to 25%.
2. Use the octane level your vehicle manufacture recommends. If your car does not require higher octane gas, don’t buy it. Many people believe that buying the premium gas will make their car run better but in reality is can make your engine run too hot and do more harm than good. By decreasing from premium to regular unleaded you can save 20 cents or more per gallon.
1. Use a credit card to save on gas. There are many credit cards available that will pay you between 5-8% cash back on gas purchases. There are even cards that will give you rewards points for every mile you drive in your car. By using these benefits to your advantage you can save $0.15 - $0.25 cents per gallon on gas.
