How to Save on GAS!!!

Gas prices are high, we need to either cut back or at least stretch what we have a bit further. I own a 2004 Camry and have 3 kids. I drive them to school and back plus errands and manage 320 miles to 15 gallons of gas. Its about 21 miles to the gallon. Try these tips and see what kind of mileage you can get..make it a challenge!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Car
• Gas

1. Keep your Car, SUV, Van or Truck as empty as possible of stuff.

2. SLOW DOWN!!! Yes, just go the speed limit. Try not to have to slam on your brakes and try to take off a bit slower.

3. Plan your trip! Try to run your errands in order so you dont have to back-track.

4. Don't run the AC if your traveling under 45mph. Over that the drag the wind causes actually ruins your efforts. Maybe kick in the AC only at red lights if its really hot.

5. Make sure your tires are properly inflated and are the right size for your vehicle.
