Gas prices are crazy right now. And while it’s nice that there are a bunch of articles floating around teaching us fuel-saving techniques, it’s also annoying.
The best piece of advice is to go buy a hybrid. (Cool, cool, cool. You got $40,000 I can borrow?)
Here are some other ways to save money while driving:
1. Don’t go faster than 65. Apparently, cars are more efficient at that speed, and going faster burns more fuel.
2. Use cruise control more.
3. If you see a red light up ahead, ease off the gas early and coast for a while.
4. Make sure your tire pressure is correct. Underinflated tires will use more gas.
5. Reduce your car’s drag by removing roof racks or bike racks. The sleeker and more aerodynamic the car, the less you’ll pay at the pump.
6. Consider carpooling.
And finally, the best way to combat low gas prices, WIN THE LOTTERY. That’s sure to help. (At least then you can buy a more fuel-efficient car.)
