Save on Gas
Gas prices are high, MPG ratings are low, and if you’re like me you still have to travel a decent distance for your daily commute to work. So what can you do to try to stretch a few extra miles out of that last gallon of gas? Yahoo! has provided you with 10 easy ways to save over a grand on gas.
Be forewarned that while a lot of these are great tips, a few are a little unrealistic. Prime example, tip #8 says that if you lose 100 lbs you can save 13.1 gallons of gas with a monetary savings of $104 per year. I might need to hit the gym a little more often, but 100 lbs? C’mon!
Here are all 10 tips:
Get that “check engine” light checked out
Check your tire pressure
Change your air filter
Drive 60 on the highway, not 75
Turn off the a/c
Get your engine tuned
Drive calmly in the city
Lose weight
Lose the roof rack
Change your oil on time
