Ways to Save on Gas

Admit it! Gas prices are way too high, today.  Here are some ways to save on gas:

Shop Around - Before you buy gas shop around for cheap deals. Go to sites like GasBuddy.com or GasPriceWatch.com to compare prices of gas stations in your area.

Fill up when half full - The more gas you have in your car the less air there is in the tank and gasoline evaporates rapidly.

Fill up in the morning - Most gas stations have their in the ground so the cooler the temperature the denser the gas. Warmer gas expands so you get less gas.

Use low Octane gas - As long as your car manuel suggest that you can use low octane gas like the number 87 use it. Why pay more using buying premium gas.

Stop Speeding - Why are you in such a rush? Slowing down will save you a lot on gas.

Empty Car Trunk -  A heavy car using a lot more gas than an empty one. Empty out all the junk you have sitting in the back of your car.

Inflate tires - MSN.com states that by inflating your tires to the proper tire pressure will save you 3.3% on gas mileage.
