Ease your wallet strain

Are you are having a hard time dealing with your boss while getting tired each day because you have not gotten a raise yet? Why not look for other options to save your money. Try to cut your gas cost down to 0 to ease your wallet strain even just a bit. Don’t know how to do it? I’ll tell you how.

Get a gas station branded credit card. A lot of gas stations will offer credit cards that provides rebate of up to 5% each time you buy gas from them. In case you live in an area where you can regularly fill up at one provider, the collected small rebate can add up in the long term. At first, you may not feel the benefits of doing this technique, but later on, you will surely reap what you have sown.

Get low resistance tires. You might have heard of new tire designs that promise reducing gas cost. Given the expense of the tires, you can consider this option unless you are already in the market for new tires. Relative to this, make sure that all your tires are at the proper air pressure since low tire pressure hurts fuel efficiency.

Tune up your car always. If you have your ride properly maintained, it will surely use less gasoline. Furthermore, tuning up your car will help you keep the engine running even longer.

Look for specials in your neighborhood since some local gas stations offer specials like “wacky Wednesday”. Other stations even offer $.10 discounts on some days.

Don’t forget to slow down and drive less. This may be ironic on your part but trust me, it works! Traveling at 55mph gives you up to 21% better gas mileage as compared to driving at 65mph. Also, since traffic lights are timed for the lower speed, you will decrease your odds of having to stop, which is another gas waster. Drive slower and your total gas bill will surely decline. Better yet, wake up early so that you will not be late on your work even if you drive slow. Your boss will not be angry at all. It is just a matter of responsibility right? Wake up early and drive slow, simply like that.

Avoid idling. This will take up more gas than stopping and restarting the engine. Turn your car off when you are waiting for someone. Go into a fast-food place instead of using a drive through! Do not bother warming up your car in the winter, It is not necessary with today’s vehicles.

Gasoline evaporates from your tank, did you know that? This is true especially when it is hot. Hence, when you are leaving your car down the street, make sure to park it in the shade. The effects are so small yet every drop counts! So read my lips: “never park your ride under the hot sun.”

Inside your car, do not put the pedal to the metal. Go easy on both gas and brakes. Anytime you do a jackrabbit start or a quick stop, it will increase the gas mileage.

Clean out your car. Weight, aside from cargos, will decrease the gas mileage. Clean out all the unnecessary items. You can opt not to transport things on a roof rack, instead, put them in the trunk or inside your vehicle to reduce drag.

While driving down the road, stick the paved roads, gravel, and dirt that can reduce gas mileage by as much as 30%.

These techniques that I have shared to you will surely help you save bucks. This I guarantee you since I myself have proven that with my allowance. You can save for your other expenses and you may also donate some for charity. Opportunities in sharing your blessings will be the best reward from getting wise.
