Gas Prices Hit an All-Time High Last Month—Here’s How To Save Money at the Pump
How to save money on gas
1. Combine trips
According to fueleconomy.gov, your fuel economy is worse when your engine is cold. Doing errands in several trips instead of one could end up costing around twice as much.
2. Don't drive like an a**hole
This one is pretty applicable at all times, but in this context, it can save you money. Aggressive driving can lower your gas mileage by as much as 15–30 percent.
3. Travel light
Don't leave the end table you bought off of Facebook Marketplace in your trunk for days on end; extra pounds in your car, especially in compact vehicles, can decrease your gas mileage by up to 25 percent.
4. Download one of these helpful apps
Apps like GasBuddy and AAA can help you find the least-expensive gas near you.
5. Keep your tires properly inflated
Under-inflated wheels can reduce the miles per gallon your car gets, while keeping them properly inflated can improve your gas mileage by up to three percent.
6. Slow down
Keeping your speed around 65 miles per hour on the highway can help increase your fuel economy by 15–20 percent. Time to put on that cruise control.
