6.When traveling out of town, check prices. It may be much cheaper in your town or at your destination.
7.Don't use a higher octane than you need. 40 million drivers unnecessarily buy a premium grade. Look at the car manual or call the manufacturer's Customer Service Department to determine the correct grade.

8.If your car doesn't seem to run right, try a different brand of gas (same octane) before switching to a higher, more expensive grade. The additives in another brand of gas might work better with your car.

9.After filling up, turn the gas pump nozzle around 180 degrees to drain the last half cup of gasoline into your tank.

10.Don't fill your tank right up to the top. As much as one half gallon can leak out when the gas sloshes around during travel.

11.Don't get zero miles per gallon warming your car. Numerous experts recommend idling your car for only about a minute and then driving it slowly for a few minutes. This will greatly improve gas mileage and also lubricate the engine better.

12.Check tire pressure once a month. Correct pressure saves gas and and could save you 50% on the cost of tires as well.

13.Check your tires for uneven wear. Proper alignment saves gas and tires.

14.Replace the air filter regularly. A dirty filter will make the engine run too "rich."

15.Tune your car at least as often as specified by the manufacturer. Tune sooner in cold weather or if you drive in heavy traffic. A tune-up will more than pay for itself in gas savings.

16.Use an "energy conserving" oil, an EC or EC-II motor oil.

17.Remove any unnecessary weight from the vehicle. (When did you really take a good look at the stuff in your trunk?)

18.If you're not using the rack on top of your car, take it off. Wind drag reduces mileage.

19.Use the air conditioner only when necessary, especially in traffic. At highway speeds, however, the AC may be more efficient.

20.Driving 55 MPH will save 10%-15% vs. driving 65 MPH.

21.Drive smoothly. Fast starts, sudden stops, weaving in and out of traffic lowers mileage.

22.If you family has two cars, drive the car that's still warm for a quick errand. A cold engine gets terrible mileage -- about one third of a warm one.


What is it?	Save more 1. Pump it yourself and pay cash. If you aren't already using the self-serve pumps, you should be. The AAA figures you'll save an average 24 cents a gallon by rolling up your sleeves and wielding the nozzle yourself. At gas stations that charge different prices for cash and credit-card purchases, you'll typically save 2 to 8 cents a gallon by paying with paper rather than plastic, according to the National Conference on Weights and Measures. 2. Think aerodynamically. Bike carriers, ski racks, those car-top storage bins that look like mongo Big Mac boxes: All can interfere with your car's aerodynamic profile and cost you gas mileage. So if you aren't running out to buy a 65-pound Big Mac, leave the bin at home. (Ditto for anything weighty you've been dragging around in your trunk.) 3. Save those road trips for the fall. Gasoline prices usually rise in the spring and summer, reflecting increased consumer demand. In the fall, they tend to decrease. So if you take your car on vacation in the autumn instead of sooner, you'll profit at the pump. The scenery is nice then too. 4. Make your next car a gas sipper. To save money in the long haul, consider a more fuel-efficient car. The Environmental Protection Agency collects city and highway mileage estimates for new cars and other vehicles, and dealers are required to post those numbers for your comparison shopping pleasure. Among the biggest gas guzzlers on the road today: sport utility vehicles, which in many cases get less than 20 miles to a gallon in highway driving. (Many compact cars and even some midsize models can get more than 30.) Whatever kind of car you buy, you'll reduce your fuel consumption by 5% to 10% if you opt for radial tires. If you can handle a stick, a manual transmission is more frugal with gas than an automatic. And cruise control is a worthy add-on if you do a lot of highway driving. Slow and steady doesn't just win the race, it uses a lot less fuel along the way. 5.Gas on a busy highway can cost 10c more per gallon than the same brand and same grade at a quiet corner just a few blocks away. Compare prices on the routes you normally drive, but don't go out of your way.
