Here are some tips on how to save money on gas by improving your mpg, driving less, and driving smarter:
| 1. | Take care of all the little things before you start your car. |
| 2. | Wash and wax your car. |
| 3. | Switch to synthetic oil. |
| 4. | Take out unused seats. |
| 5. | If you drive a truck, leave the tailgate up. |
| 6. | Fill your tires with nitrogen as opposed to regular air. |
| 7. | Adjust your commute time and/or look into telecommuting. |
| 8. | Shop online. |
| 9. | Bring your lunch to work. |
| 10. | Turn down the music and you won't speed so much. |
| 11. | Use a Gas Credit or gift Card. |
| 12. | Drive Slower. |
| 13. | Live close to work. |
| 14. | Use public transportation. |
| 15. | Avoid gas stations in expensive neighborhoods. |
| 16. | If you are going to leave your car idling for more than 60 seconds, turn it off. |
| 17. | When you are driving on the highway, make sure your windows are up. |
| 18. | Sign up for MyPoints and earn free gas cards |
| 19. | Carpool |
| 20. | Triplink by combining shopping trips and errands. Go to the store that is a one-stop-shop rather than 10 specialty stores around town. Don’t drive across town to save 10 cents and burn $1 gas. |
| 21. | Call before you shop to see if the store actually has the product you want. |
| 22. | Get a free Ecopass from your employer or university. Small children usually ride the bus for free. |
| 23. | Buy a more fuel efficient vehicle. At $4 a gallon gas savings is significant between 9 mpg and 70 mpg for a long commute. |
| 24. | Walk, bike, skate, or use a Segway. |
