TIPS on how to spend less on gas by improving fuel efficiency of your vehicle:
Maintain your vehicle.
Don’t speed.
Use the lowest manufacturer-recommended octane.
Avoid unnecessary idling.
Use cruise control when possible.
Use the air conditioner sparingly and on the economy or recirculation settings.
Combine errands.
