Don't Worry About Gas Prices With These Tips On Saving Gas

By Rex Stevenson


There are several ways you can continue to live your normal lifestyle in these tough times. All you have to do is save on gas. When you need your car to get you places and need it to get your job done, you need to focus on how much gas you spend. With gas costing around $4 a gallon , we need to save all the gas we can. Here are some great tips on how to do just that.

Lets help the environment and save a lot on gas by installing one of the new HHO car modification systems. These systems are great and there are several blue prints on the market now. These blue prints give you instructions on how to assemble this simple HHO system on any car and the parts can be picked up at any hardware store.

The way HHOs work is very simple: A small canister is placed in the car and the contents are bicarb of soda mixed with water. The canister is hooked into the battery and it creates HHO gas, which is sent to the manifold or to the carburetor, whichever your car has. This type of system will save you about 30% on your gas. The engine also runs quieter and even more efficiently

If you do less driving you can also save on gas. Do your local errands by walking or riding a bike. You can even buy a motor scooter or motorcycle to do these errands. On longer errands go by car pool or drive to the bus stop or train station.

Drive Less - Other ways that you can save on gas include driving less. As an example if you need to run to the store for something, then either walk or take a bicycle. When you need to go long distances, you can car pool, drive to the nearest bus station and take the bus, or train.

* Turn off the air conditioner in heavy traffic, and on the highway be sure it is on, because when you roll down the windows you create drag which makes your car use more energy. * Get rid of extra weight in your car. Make sure you don't carry anything you don't need. The extra weight causes your car to use more energy. * Don't use anything that will interfere with your cars aerodynamics. So, don't use luggage racks, bike racks or anything like that. * Check the tire pressure. If your tires are not inflated then your car spends more gas. * Make sure your car is clean and waxed because friction with air causes your car to lose gas mileage.

Other things that have to do with maintenance will also help you save on gas. Make sure that you change your air filter every 10,000 miles, and make sure you get your oil changed on time. Get your car tuned and inspected as it should be, to keep it running well.

Hopefully the above tips showed you a few things on how to save gas. Remember to fill your tank with gas but don't overfill it because this adds unwanted weight to your car. Follow all of the tips and you wont worry so much about the price of gas.
