Just about every other day there seems to be stories about how gas
prices are going up. While driving less may be a great thing to do for
saving on gasoline there are other important things to do for your
car. These include regular maintenance on your car, braking
appropriately and checking your tires. These, along with other
important tips here, can help to improve your gas mileage and make use
of the gasoline you have.

Regular maintenance is not only important for your car's health but it
is also helpful for your car's gas mileage. If your car is working as
perfectly as it should be you will be getting more miles per gallon on
your car.

If you are not the type of person who tries to go especially fast on
the roads you should slow down. The traveling velocity of the vehicle
you are driving will make an impact. For instance, gas consumption
increases by about twenty percent if you are driving at 65mph/110kph
instead of 55mph/80kph.

Your car's filter is especially important to consider for saving on
gasoline. An air filter is important in that it creates force and
energy for your car to use. As a result better gas mileage will be
created as long as the filter is healthy and safe. If the air filter
is dirty or congested then you should replace it so that the car's gas
mileage will increase by about ten percent. This is because a clean
air filter will increase the car's performance and will help to
improve the overall health of the car.

Braking is something to watch for. When you brake and accelerate more
often your car's gas consumption will be increased by about twenty
percent. This hurts the miles per gallon that your car will be
getting. It is best to keep from accelerating more than what you need
to, and you should brake at a steady rate when you do have to.

Checking your tires is important. If your tires are not properly
inflated you will end up losing more miles per gallon. You should
always keep your tires inflated to the instructions that your car's
manufacturer has.

Organizing your trips at a better pace is important. Organizing all of
your trips at once helps so that you do not have to travel more from
your home to other places than you have to.

The last of the tips to use for saving on gasoline is to watch the
wind resistance. Keeping your windows closed to reduce wind drag
helps. This is because wind drag will aggravate consumption of fuel.

Gas prices are not going to be any cheaper any time soon. Therefore,
it helps to use these tips for saving on gasoline. Not only will your
car be healthier but you will be more organized and you will increase
the miles per gallon that your car will be getting.
