Do you drive for miles to save a few pennies on the price of gasoline? Are you being strangled by the rising cost of gas to the point where you are afraid to drive anywhere, because the fuel gauge goes down so fast? You could always get a bicycle, and get rid of your car keys, but there are some things that you can do before resorting to that.

There are a lot of easy things that you can do to save fuel that are also free. Do you ever check the tires to see if they are properly inflated? By just having the correct amount of air in your tires can save you gas, because under inflated tires causes an increase in fuel consumption. All you need to do is to get a tire gauge and check your tires regularly, in order to save gas, free of charge. Did you know that the time of day you buy gas can affect how much you will pay for what you get?

Gas is sold by the volume, and since liquids expand as they heat up, logic would tell you to buy the gas at the coldest part of the day, you will get the best deal. Since there is so much 24 hour shopping, get up early to beat all of the traffic, which will allow you to save fuel without being stuck in traffic. There are websites that can tell you which gas stations have the cheapest gas, but if you have to go far out of the way to get it, the purpose will end up being defeated. A lot of people like to wash their car because they like the way a clean car looks, but did you know that washing your car can save you fuel.

A clean car will cause less drag, such as swimmers shaving off all of their body hair, or skiers wearing skin-tight racing suits, to go faster. Washing the car can become a fun thing for the whole family to do. If the weather is warm enough, children love playing in the water. How many times have you been at a stop light and you revved up your engine to impress someone? You probably never realized that if you revved your engine 15 times, you just wasted enough fuel to travel a mile. Doesn't sound like much, until you do it on a consistent basis. You can remember that when you find yourself with a car with an empty gas tank.

You probably hate taking your vehicle in to get it serviced, but it is a good idea, if you want to get the best gas mileage. It seems to be a trade-off in the short-term with paying for servicing your car, or paying for extra gas when you car isn't running good. It is vitally important to have new spark plugs, clean air filters, and clean oil, along with oil filter.
