Is The Price of Gas Draining Your Bank Account? Guaranteed Fuel Saving Tips.

If you have filled up your vehicle lately, you have noticed how exorbitant the fuel prices are these days. In fact, as the price continues to creep toward $4.00 a gallon and even more, many people are unable to actually fill their tank. Instead, they put in $20 here or $40 there in an effort to just get back and forth from work. These rising fuel prices are grounding families who once enjoyed regular family outings. They must make shorter trips, or stay at home as fuel becomes somewhat of a luxury in some respects. As these prices put a stranglehold on the average consumer's pocketbook, many are left with the decision to fill their tank or put food on the table. The days of $1.99 a gallon are gone, the days of $.99 a gallon (yes, we old timers remember the "good ole days") are long gone. But, we still have a few tricks up our sleeve and, believe it or not, you can squeeze a few extra miles per gallon from your vehicle. Try these tips and put your fuel bill on a diet.

Choose a vehicle that is more fuel efficient

Now, wait. Before you say, "Well, duh! If I could do that I already would have!" Fair enough. However, think about this: When you compare a car that gets 20 mpg against a car that gets 30 mpg, based on 15,000 miles of annual driving and an average fuel cost of $3.95, you save $987 a year if you drive the 30 mpg car. Over the course of five years the savings grow to $4,935. Not too shabby. And I bet that five thousand bucks could really come in handy!

Plan your trips and errands more efficiently

Plan your trips so that you can accomplish more things in one trip as opposed to making a number of trips. Also, try to arrange it so that you follow some logical order that does not have you doubling back and going out of your way unnecessarily. For instance, make a list of the errands you need to accomplish during the day. Plan your trip around town in an organized way, do all the errands in one trip and use common sense by driving the shortest possible route to and from your home to the businesses. A little extra planning during the month can make a major difference in your fuel bill and you are putting less miles on your car too!

Change out your paper air filter to a new high air flow filter

Paper air filters quickly load up with dirt particles and like a vacuum bag will eventually block air flow and choke off the air to your engine. Change out that paper filter for a new Nanofiber air filter that maintains full air flow to the engine even after 25,000 miles of use. It's the same filters the Army uses on the M1 Abrams tanks, the world's most severe air filtration application. An absolute efficiency nanofiber air filter will increase fuel economy immediately and as the miles pile up on the filter it could make a 15-20% difference in fuel economy compared to a dirty blocked paper filter.

Change your oil routinely and change to synthetic oil

Change your oil per the car manufacturer's recommendations. Better yet change over to synthetic oil. Synthetic oil and lubricants reduce friction in your engine, your transmission, and your gear boxes. When friction is reduced it takes less energy to turn the wheels of your vehicle, thus increased efficiency and increased fuel economy. Engines run higher RPM on the same fuel, reduced friction means better gas economy and better protection for your engine. Synthetic oil in your engine, transmission, and drive train could save you 5% or more on gas costs. Synthetic oil saves you money in other ways too. You can safely go longer between oil changes.

Clean your fuel intake system every 4000-5000 miles

Untreated fuel leads to poor engine performance. A vehicle demonstrates its best efficiency and engine performance when it is new. As the engine ages, its performance suffers from gasoline fuel-generated deposits that form on the fuel injectors, intake valves and combustion chamber. Additives are required to control deposit formation. Adding a high quality fuel system and fuel injector cleaner can restore your fuel intake efficiency to 95% of what it was when your vehicle was brand new. This can make a major difference in fuel economy!

Keep your car in good running condition, watch those tires

Keep your tires in good shape; rotate and balance them regularly. Keep your tires properly inflated. Under inflated tires can cost you 10-20% or more in fuel economy. Get regular tune ups on your car. Repair your car when you notice a problem. Regular preventative maintenance alone can save you around 4% or better on fuel costs.

Be a more efficient driver

OK, you road ragers and speed demons, you may not like this one, but if you want to lower your fuel consumption by as much as 33 percent on the highway, then listen up. Speeding, sudden braking and rapid acceleration cause your car to guzzle the gas. These activities are big time fuel wasters. Drive more sensibly. Your car will thank you because of fewer repairs, your insurance company will thank you because of fewer accidents and your wallet will thank you because you won't be draining it as often for fuel. Now, go take all this money that you are saving by following these tips and take the family out to dinner!
