Best Gas Saving Tips
Save money on gas the easy way
With skyrocketing gas prices you might have read and heard about all kind of ways how to save money on gas, but the reality is that most of the tips to save gas only provide you minimal savings at the pump. For instance very few people want to wear ice vests while driving the car during the summertime, so the air condition doesn´t have to be turned on in order to save a penny or two per gallon. Here are the top 3 gas saving tips that will bring down your cost at the pump the most. These gas saving tips are simple to follow and come with the added benefit of being safe driver.
Drive Sensibly: Aggressive driving can lower your gas mileage up to 33%. Reduce your rapid accelerations
and start coasting to red lights. Leave plenty of room between you and the person in front of you and you can coast to catch
up when he needs to use the brakes instead of you having to use the brakes as well.
Gas Credit Cards: You can save up to 10% at the pump, by using the right credit card.
There are several options out there, but it is usually best to apply for a gas credit card that is not
company specific. That way you can get the lowest price in the area or choose the nearest gas station.
You can fill the gas tank at any gas station with the Discover® Open Road Card and receive 5% cash
back or you can get the BP Visa® Rewards Card and receive 10% cash back for the first 60 days
and 5% thereafter when you fill the gas tank at BP stations.

Observe the speed limit: Driving 10% above the speed limit on the Interstate will cost you approximately 10% in
decreased gas mileage. Vehicles reach their optimal gas mileage at around 60 mph and speeds above that cause the mileage to decrease.
The gas mileage can decrease as much as 7% for each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph.
