Save Money on Gas
How I Get A FREE Tank of Gas Every Week!
Although there are many ways to save money at the gas pump, these
are the seven steps you need to take to get the best results today.
If you follow all seven steps, you will actually notice a difference
in your vehicle. Most of all, you will notice that your trips to
the gas station will begin to decline. With gasoline prices rising
by the day, and oil companies lining their pockets - you need the
latest up-to-date information on the best techniques and products
you can use today.
Step One. Change your oil. According to the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE), you can improve your gas mileage by using the manufacturer's
recommended grade of motor oil. Motor oil that says "Energy
Conserving" on the performance symbol of the American Petroleum
Institute contains friction-reducing additives that can improve
fuel economy.
Step Two. Replace your air filter on a regular basis. If you were
to replace a clogged air filter, then you can improve your car's
gas mileage by up to 10%. The purpose of the air filter is to keep
impurities from damaging the engine interior. A clean air filter
will not only save you money in the long term, but will also protect
your engine.
Step Three. Keep your tires properly inflated and aligned. I know
you may have heard this one before. You should not wait until you
have a flat tire before you care for them. You can improve your
gas mileage by around 3 % by just keeping your tires inflated to
the proper pressure.
Step Four. Turn off your engine if you anticipate a long wait.
I have personally noticed how many people wait in their vehicle
for long periods of time without turning off their vehicle. While
this may seem simple, anyone can easily forget during the beautiful
spring season. Additionally, having a busy day with so much on your
mind can also cause you to be careless. If your child is using your
vehicle, then I recommend that you enforce this rule.
Step Five. Remove excess weight from your vehicle. Some people
carry large unnecessary equipment in their back seat or trunk. You
need to decide what is not needed for your trip. If you plan on
traveling long distance, then packing items on top of your vehicle
should only be used as a last resort. Items or equipment on top
of a vehicle creates wind resistance which decreases fuel economy.
Step Six. Keep your engine tuned. If an engine is tuned according
to the owner's manual, then it is possible to increase the gas mileage
by an average of 4 %. This depends on the repair and how well it's
done. For example, fixing a serious maintenance problem such as
a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40%.
Step Seven. Use a fuel reformulator to help save hundreds of dollars
per year. A Fuel reformulator is a nontoxic, nonhazardous substance
that reduces fuel cost by producing a gain in mileage. It reduces
fuel consumption and non-combusted residues that an engine expels
in the format of exhaust emissions, such as hydrocarbons, nitrogen
oxides, carbon monoxide, and other harmful products of combustion.
A fuel reformulator causes unused fuel to be saved in the gas tank,
waiting to be used efficiently by the engine instead of being exhausted
in the form of toxic emissions.
These seven steps may seem minor, but when followed carefully and
consistently, you will easily notice a difference in your vehicle
performance and gas mileage. People at the gas station will wonder
why you have a big smile on your face.
