To save on gasoline, AAA recommends
- Combining errands to limit driving time.
- Shopping around for the best gas prices in your community.
- Paying with cash. Some retailers charge extra per gallon for customers who pay with a credit card.
- Removing excess weight in your vehicle. Every 100 pounds taken out of the vehicle improves fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
- Driving conservatively. Aggressive acceleration and speeding reduces fuel economy.
