Saving Gas Money Tips

• Fill the tank full. If you need to fill up, fill up all the way. The more money you try to save by adding $10 today and then $20 tomorrow will be wasted since each time you will have to travel to the station and wait for a pump. Instead, do it all at once to save time and money.
  
  
• Avoid buying gas with ethanol, if possible. The lower energy content of the fuel will almost always lower mileage. Other additives may do the same, or may increase mileage depending upon your vehicle. Note, however, that turbocharged cars often get better mileage with ethanol blends. This is because the higher (over 100!) octane of ethanol permits more boost, which means more efficient fuel usage.
  
  
• Use a synthetic oil instead of 10W30 and 10W40. This will cause your engine to run better and give you better mileage.
  
  
• Park in the shade. Gasoline actually evaporates right out of your tank, and it does so faster when you park directly in the sun - winter or summer.
  
  
• Safe driving habits will save a lot more money than risky driving, and maybe even save lives. Slow down. Be careful.
