Gas prices are rising day by day. Therefore, we have collected some useful tips to help you conserve gas and save money.

1. Cars in poor running condition always consume more gasoline. Keep your car tuned up.

2. We humans are mostly performing multiple tasks at once. Especially sometimes we choose longer distances than shorter. Plan your trip to avoid unnecessary driving.

3. You run your air conditioner and suddenly you get much worse gas mileage. Use your air conditioner thoroughly. If you already have lower settings, use it. Turn it on until the car gets cool, then turn it off and let the fan circulate the cool air. Always remember to not to run your air conditioner with your windows open!

4. This is a good move to keep your windows closed when traveling at high speeds. It causes additional drag and decreases your gas mileage. At high speeds, an open window can use more gas than many air conditioners.

5. Make sure to check your tire pressure. Over-inflated tires can actually reduce your fuel efficiency.

6. If it is possible, change your work hours to avoid gridlock. Stop and go traffic hurts your gas mileage.

7. Get unwanted items out of the car. You mostly don't have to hold snow chains around with you in the summertime. Simply make sure to keep them back in when winter comes in.

8. Avoid idling your engine for long periods of time. If you are jammed in traffic and you think you have no way out to go anywhere in the next five minutes, you may want to turn your car off.

9. You don’t need to warm your car up for long periods of time, especially new cars. New cars are made to run when cold.

10. You no longer need to travel at fast speeds in low gears unless you need the compression to slow down.

11. Try your best to drive the speed limit.

12. Accelerate slowly when departing the stop light. It’s not a competition with the driver in the lane. The fastest person through the intersection always gets to spend more on gas.

13. You don’t need to purchase the highest priced gasoline. Majority of cars are built to run on regular unleaded. You have to check your owner’s manual or consult a mechanic. The more expensive gas is a waste of money

14. Revving the engine needlessly wastes gas. There is no need to rev before you turn your vehicle off.

15. If at all possible, try to arrange car pools with co-workers to share the cost of commuting to work.

16. Walk, bike or run to your intended location whenever possible.

17. When the price is sky high, don't fill up. Wait for the price to go down before you fill up your tank. Filling up your tank when the price is peaking lets gas companies know that you are willing to pay ridiculous prices for gasoline.

18. And last, the biggest and most important step towards saving money on gas is always try to purchase vehicles that get good gas mileage. The difference between 20 miles-per-gallon and 40 miles-per-gallon is huge.
