MOTORIST TIPS

Top 10 ways to save at the pump

  1. Don’t drive – Walk, ride a bike, ride share, carpool.
  2. Maintain proper tire pressure – Use highest range shown on tire/owners manual
  3. Maintain your vehicle – Keep filters clean, fluids clean, belts tight, repair leaks and no check engine lights.
  4. Use good quality/correct grade of fuel – Don’t skimp by buying lower grade or off-brand fuel.
  5. Use synthetic lubricants – Engine, transmission, differential.
  6. Minimize stop-and-go driving – Smooth out the flow of traffic
  7. Avoid unnecessary idling – More than one minute, shut it off
  8. Minimize cold starts – Plan your driving, combine trips.
  9. Remove excess weight – Keep stuff in storage, not trunk
  10. Reduce aerodynamic drag – No roof racks unless needed, spoilers in place.
