The global price of gasoline going up and there is an increasing shortage of fuel. Here are a few things what you can do to save gas.

1. Maintain optimum tyre pressure – Keeping your tyre pressure at the recommended level can add 3% to your fuel economy. Under-inflated tires reduce your mileage by 0.4 percent for every psi drop in tire pressure of all the tires. When the tires are properly inflated they are safer and they last longer.
2. Remove excess weight from your car – If your car has a thing or two which you don’t require for the trip in the boot apart from your spare tyre, throw them out. Extra weight means it takes more fuel to get up to speed.
3. Keep windows closed – Keeping the windows closed reduces drag while riding.
4. Change oil and air filters regularly – Changing your filters regularly will help save your engine apart from improving your gas mileage by up to 10%. Air filters remove and keep out impurities from your engine.
5. Avoid leaving your car idle – Turn off your engine at signals where you have to stop for more than 30 seconds. When you idle your car, you are simply wasting gas.
