The gas prices may not go down but you can use these tips to get the most for your money...

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Step1
Find the lowest gas prices. The prices are updated and are dropped constantly. Fill you car slowly on the lowest notch at the gas pump. This way the gas doesn't bubble so much in the tank. You don't want to pay for all the bubbles of air.
Step2
Target the Best time of the Day to buy gas. Fill up your tank before dawn or late at night when the sun and traffic are down. If you fill-up when it's cool, you get more gas per volume, which means more for the money.
Step3
Improve your Cars Gas Mileage. High speeds, quick starts, and squealing stops, burns a lot of gas and money. You can save up to 15% by driving the speed limit and using your cruise control if you have one.
Step4
Keep your Tank always 1/2 Full. Don't wait till the gauge is real low because, it is hard on the fuel injector. Heat makes the gas evaporate and you lose gas volume. The fuller the tank, the gas stays cooler and there is less evaporation. It also takes less money each time you stop to fill up, if your tank is only half empty.
