How To Lower Your Fuel Consumption And Drive More

Leni Cohen, 46, from Sacramento is taking matters into her own hands! She has figured out some effective actions on her own to increase her MPG. One thing she is doing is combining her weekly errands into one trip, rather than spreading them out on several trips.. She also tries to set up appointments for her office cleaning company, during off peak hour times so she doesn't let gasoline burn sitting in traffic. She observes she is now able to wait two days longer before she has to fill up her tank

She is not alone. Government statistics show consumers are doing more to conserve on gasoline since prices starting rising 4 years ago.
Some gasoline saving actions are more effective than others

Let's look at some that get results.

Learn where the cheaper gasolinestations are -
For instance, you will usually find cheaper gasoline in the outlying suburbs than downtown. It is best to avoid upscale areas when looking for a cheap fill. Gasoline stations near major freeway entrances can be more expensive than stations further away. It can pay to drive a few blocks from the freeway to find a lower price.
Take advantage of discounts that are available. Many fuel stations have coupons available for discounts on gasoline purchases. You can find these, like on the reverse side of grocery store receipts, in the mail coupons, internet coupons. Many fuel stations will give you a discount on gasoline when you also buy a car wash, or visa versa. A great way to save money on gasoline is by using a gasoline rebate credit card. Some of these cards can be used at virtually any gasoline station. A number of fuel station-specific cards are available, but are much more limiting, since you only get a discount at the same brand station.

TELECOMMUTE -
Telecommuting (working from home instead of the office) helps the environment, helps reduce rush hour traffic, is good for the family and will save you big time on gasoline. Try to get the boss to allow you to telecommute at least some of your work hours.

Convert Your Engine From gasoline to Hydrogen -
If you do a partial (hybrid) conversion then you can expect to see savings on your gasoline consumption of up to 30% maybe more. If you do a full conversion then you will never have to pump another gallon of gasoline for the rest of your life. It is really quite easy and costs next to nothing.
