5 TIPS FOR SAVING MONEY AT THE GAS PUMP
1. Fill Up Early in the Morning or Late at Night - Gasoline becomes denser in colder temperatures. Since gas pumps are set to measure the volume of the fuel that you pump and not the density, you could get more gas for your money!
2. Check for Prices Online Before Going Out - There are several web sites online that help you find the cheapest gas in your area. www.GasBuddy.com is one of these helpful websites. Enter your zip code and it will display the least expensive fuel prices in your area.
3. Avoid Running Your Gas Tank Too Close to Empty - You may think that you are using very little gas when your car is running on empty, but you are actually using MORE fuel because your vehicle is running less efficiently as it tries to accelerate and decelerate in a normal fashion.
4. Avoid Buying Gas from a Just-Replenished Gas Station - When a gas station has its underground tanks filled, the particles at the bottom of the tank are stirred up. These particles can become mixed in with the gas that you are putting into your car, which can lead to efficiency problems. The particles can clog your fuel filter, causing your car to stall and start with some difficulty.
5. Tighten the Gas Cap - It may seem like a small thing to do, but tightening your gas cap will prevent gas from evaporating and escaping into the air.
