Heard the latest? Gas prices went up again. Yeah, I know. That was a poorly designed intro. With gas prices steadily on the rise, we all are feeling the pain.
One thing is for sure, the high prices that we are seeing now will be around for a while and although they may change, the change probably won’t be any good for our wallets.
So, where do we go from here? We know the usual tips for lowering the effect of this money drain such as driving less, keeping tires properly inflated, and driving at slower speeds. Those all work and provide a substantial benefit to the budget but they must be accompanied by additional measures to help the budget further.
1. Use tools like the Gas Money Toolbar or the TypoBounty.com toolbar at GasMoneyToolbar.com. This toolbar allows its users earn money online to pay for gas. Through the popular website TypoBounty.com, the toolbar really helps offset the costs.
2. Use websites like GasBuddy.com to find the lowest gas prices in your area.
3. If your vehicle can run on lower grades of fuel, use it. Check your vehicles manual to determine if your vehicle really needs the higher grades of gas. It really amazes me that so many people use the higher grades of gas when they really don’t need to. Check it out. You may be spending additional money for naught.
4. Take freeways and roads with fewer lights when possible. Stopping and starting is the enemy of fuel economy. When at all possible maintain the momentum that your vehicle burned fuel to provide you. Listen, the average car is over 2000 pounds. It takes an enormous amount of power to move that load from a dead stop. However, it is quite easy for the engine to maintain the load momentum once load is already moving. If you encounter street lights do your best to time them to minimize their effects on your vehicle’s gas mileage.
5. When driving and desiring to accelerate, do it on the down side of a hill if you can find one. Allow gravity to ease your vehicle’s need for propulsion.
Remember, gas prices may rise but using extra techniques and tools to combat the money drain can help a lot.
