Gas saving tips for Sacto drivers…
So lately I have not been leaving my bat cave very much, therefore I have not had a need to fuel up my GMC truck. However, I ventured out earlier today, and the low fuel light flickered on. I missed two gas stations that had fuel for about $4.49/ gallon, and ended up paying $4.59/ gallon instead. I do believe that today I spent the most per gallon on fuel that I have ever spent in my lifetime. So now I feel that I need to help other drivers as much as possible and share some gas saving tips. I am sure you are all probably thinking that I should help myself first by getting rid of my gas hog of a vehicle…but trust me- nobody wants to buy a truck right now.
My first tip for saving fuel money is to visit such sites as www.sactogasprices.com, and http://cbs13.com/gasprices to find the cheapest gas prices around town.
Second, rsimple maintenecne can make a huge difference: keep your vehicle well maintained, keep air in the tires per manufacturer guidelines, and slow down!
Third, slow down! The optimal speed for the best fuel efficiency is said to be around 55 MPH.
