I am not sure what the gas prices are in your area but mine is about $3.00. When I was in college, the last time I saw gas prices less than $1.00 was in Cedar City,Utah. I was traveling to Las Vegas for a trip. I remember saying to my friends that this may be the last time we will see gasoline less than a buck. Man, we were right!!!
Here are a few tips to conserve gas and bring down your bill.
1. Replace you air filter: The way I know that my air filter needs to be change is to lift the filter into the air and look through the filter. If you cannot really seen any light it is time to change it.
2. Keep your tires inflated: If your tires are not properly inflated, you can increase your drag and increase gas usage.
3. Walk to work. This will also help you pass the PT tests and loss weight.
4. Make only one trip: When you go to work make sure you pass by the grocery store on the way home. This will reduce a lot of usage.
5. Car pool!!! There may be a few people that commute where you work. I am sure there is someone going to the base!!
There has been a media attention of green pills, magnets etc. that help increase gas efficiency. Well, you are just wasting money. Until the government approves this gadgets don’t buy them. They do all of the testing and have show that none work. You would here it on CNN if the products worked. So, take a walk or conserve a little gas and become a little richer!!!
