10 Ways to Reduce Cost of Driving

2	Drive in the highest gear. Driving at high speeds in low gears can result in 45% more fuel being consumed than needed.

3	Keep your tires pumped up to the right level. Fuel economy can be improved by up to 5% by keeping your tires inflated to the correct level.

4	Don't drive erratically. Constantly accelerating and braking consumes more fuel than smoother driving. Look ahead to foresee possible road obstruction to reduce the need for sudden breaking.

5	Save money on car insurance. One can search the World Wide Web to find the cheapest quote possible. Car insurance quotes can vary by thousands of peso so huge savings can be made.

6	Find cheaper parking. There are cheaper parking areas which you can be sure that your car is safe. Parking doesn't have to have a valet service; safety is what we're talking here.

7	Don't overuse the air conditioning or heater. Overheating the car and then having to open the windows is a waste of energy and lowers your fuel economy.

8	Avoid short journeys. Driving short distances is significantly less fuel efficient than longer journeys. Set time aside to walk short distances.

9	Share a journey. Sharing a lift into work with one other person slashes your fuel bill by half by allowing you to share the cost of driving.

10	Close your windows. Having windows open at high speeds creates significant drag meaning that more fuel is used. Even if closing your windows means the air conditioning is required it is still more fuel efficient.
