The following tips can help you limit the impact on your bank

Tips for Saving Money At The Pump
As of the writing of this article, gas prices in San Diego are
as high as $3.75 a galloon. Filling up a car, even a small one,
can make you groan. Since these prices seem to be here to stay
for the foreseeable future, it makes sense to use the following
fuel saver tips.
A quick and easy money saver is to clean your fuel injectors.
When fuel injectors are clogged or gummed up, modern engines do
not perform efficiently. Ironically, this may actually lead to
them introducing too much gas to the combustion chamber. Check
you owner's manual for any directions on the type of fuel
injector cleaner to use and do it.
Another fuel waster is incorrect air pressure in your tires.
Tires are the point where your car touches the road, obviously,
which creates massive drag on the car because of friction.
Filling your tires to the correct air pressure ensures your
tires will move efficiently across the road. Importantly, use
the air pressure recommended by the manufacturer, not the tire
supplier. You can find this information in your owner's manual
or on the inside of the driver's door.
As you might imagine from the two previous paragraphs, tuning up
your car is a tremendous way to save fuel. Depending on the
vehicle, a tune up can increase gas mileage by 30 to 50 miles
per tank. Make sure to change out the spark plugs, air filter
and gas filter.
On the practical front, organizing your life is a good way to
save money on gas. We are all use to running errands. When we
get unorganized, we can find ourselves taking multiple trips a
day to get things done. Every time you fire up that car, you
burn fuel. If you are going to being heading out, make a list of
everything you need to accomplish and do it all on one trip.
If you have kids, getting them to and from school, sports and
the houses of friends can lead to a lot of time on the road. To
save money for you and others, team up with parents to move the
kids around in one car. This saves each of you money on gas and
frees up your time.
Taking small steps can add up to a big difference. Follow the
above tips and you should spend less time at the pump.
