Like most of you, I am addicted to gasoline. Since there are no assurances for all-electric cars, I will give you some tips on how you can save money at the pump.
1. Plan your trips before you go on them. Most people spend lots of money running errands and not planning their stops. Rank your priorties by importance and by a common route. If possible run errands between rush hours.
2. Carpool. I know it's not the most popular way to save gas, but if you and your coworkers find it hard to afford filling up at the pump, Carpool. Have one person drive everyone else to work and have the others pitch in some for gas. Alternate between coworkers and be sure to pitch in for gas when riding with others. Not pitching in will make you look like a freeloader.
3. If stopping at a convience store, if you are going to take longer than 30 seconds, turn off the car. If you have kids with you, this will be hard to do, since you can't leave kids in cars for long periods of time without supervision.
4. Last, but not least, compare gas prices along with quality. If you would save 2 cents by going to EZ-Mart but get lower quality of gas, maybe it's worth it if you spend two cents for better gas. Also, be sure to put fuel injector cleaning fluid into your gas everynow and again. That cleans your fuel injector, therefore giving you better engine performance and gas mileage.
I hope these tips will help you save money at the pump. Will have more gas tips later:)
