With gas prices sky high today, everybody is looking for a way to “save a little” here and there.  Kwik Kar would like to share some simple guidelines as to how to save money at the pump.

• Check your tire pressure once a month. The U.S. Department of Energy states that with just one pound of underinflation, consumers lose two to three miles per gallon.
• Get a tune up every 30,000 miles.
• Replacing your air filter regularly can increase your vehicles gas mileage by 10 percent.
• Don’t drive over 60 miles per hour. Government figures show that when driving over 60 miles per hour, the rate of miles per gallon quickly decreases.
• Because gas is denser in cool temperatures, try to buy gas when it is cooler out.
• Avoid congested areas and stop and go traffic.  This decreases your gas mileage.
