As gas prices continue to rise for the summer season each of us might want to improve the fuel efficiency of our vehicles. There are many tips to save fuel and I have found out that keeping my Frederick car maintenance up has shown the largest benefit to saving gas. Checking the tire pressure and air filter regularly and getting tune ups and a Frederick oil change keeps my car running optimally. They even have a oil change coupon online, so I can save there also. Purchasing your fuel earlier or later in the day when the temperature is lower reduces gas evaporation. I have two fuel loyalty cards that save me 2-3 cents a gallon and my Albertson’s preferred card adds up points as I shop for groceries and gas and when I reach a certain amount it gives me 10 cents off a gallon. You can save on gas prices by comparing gas stations for the best price. At Gasbuddy.com you can enter your zip code and it will list all the gas stations in your area and how much they are charging for gas.

Other common sense tips for saving gas are driving less, not speeding, accelerating and braking slower and using cruise control. Removing excess weight out of your trunk can also save a few cents a gallon. Driving less and walking more also saves. Parking in the first spot you find instead of driving around looking for a closer parking space saves and burns a few calories. During the higher gas price season we all can make a few adjustments and save fuel and money.
