With gas climbing I thought it would be good to share ways to lower fuel consumption.
For example:
*Make sure your tires are properly inflated. And keep your oil changed as well and replace the air filter.
*Remove items from the trunk that add weight.
*Where my husband works he has the option of parking in a surface lot that is $2 cheaper than parking in the garage but on hot hot hot days he parks in the garage to keep his car cool.
*I run my errands early in the morning when the temps are cooler and I dont need to use the A/C. Plus running errands on a weekend morning also means less traffic and less stop and go.
I am sure other DISers have tips they can share. What is your tip?
