I
am always on the lookout for information that allows me to be more efficient at
my job, and I recently came across a great set of tips that I thought would
also be useful to you.
If
you are like me, high gas prices are certainly making a dent in your budget,
and trying to juggle saving money and being more environmentally-friendly can
be difficult.
I hope that you find
these tips useful, and I would also like to take this opportunity to thank you for continuing to read my blog.
With gas prices still high and the
economy slow to recover, tips on how to reduce the amount of gas we need for
our vehicles is always helpful. These
tips can also help you do your part to make our planet a greener place!
Walk and bike whenever possible. Most of us use the car to make trips that
are within a mile or two of home. By
walking or riding a bike you'll use less gas, and get more active at the same
time.
Combine trips that require the
car. We all have dry cleaning to pick
up and groceries to buy, but by planning ahead and doing all your weekly
errands in one trip can you can save both gas and time.
Clean out your car. By reducing the clutter in your backseat and
trunk you eliminate the extra gas needed to haul them around wherever you go.
Be sure your tires are properly
inflated. This simple measure can make
a big difference in the amount of unnecessary gas you consume.
Follow your vehicle's maintenance
schedule. Not only is this good for
your car, it will keep it running at its maximum efficiency and reduce the air
pollution it produces.
If you are in the market for a new vehicle,
consider a hybrid model. Most
automakers now offer a hybrid model, and this option is getting more affordable
as well.
Follow these simple tips and save money for something far more important, your family!
