As Gas Prices Fall, Take the Following Actions
If there is one good thing about our weakening economy, it’s the price of oil. Because gas has been going down lately, it’s important you take the following actions to avoid saving too much at the pump. Take advantage of the cheap gas prices before its too late!
- Make sure your tires are all inflated to all different PSI’s.
- Accelerate and break with intensity, careful and slow driving only consumes little amounts of fuel.
- As the temperate drops, be sure to idle your car for at least 15 minutes before driving. There is nothing worse than a cold car and a full tank of gas.
- If possible, avoid driving 55 MPH or slower. Anything under 55 MPH will only allow you to get less credit card rewards at fill up.
- Open all of your windows and be sure the air conditioner is always on. If your car isn’t working hard then your not even trying.
- Increase your speed when approaching hills to ensure forceful breaking.
- Rather than turning your car off at long red lights, put your car into neutral and rev the engine like your going to race the person besides you.
- Be sure to take the longest route possible everywhere you go, after all, why pay thousands of dollars for a car you are only trying to get out of?
- The more weight in your car the better, so eat up.
- Only put the highest-grade fuel in your vehicle, and be sure to laugh at those around you being cheap.
- Program your GPS to avoid highways and interstates and to only use busy one lane roads.
- Race your friends and family members at top speed with reckless abandon through parking lots and alley ways.
- NEVER mix old gas, with new. Run your tank dry while at the pump so that old and new fuel doesn’t touch.
- If you can, put it in 4-wheel drive. Always. Get a bumper sticker that says I
Traction.
- Leave it running while shopping. That way its ready to go when you need to get out of the mall because your credit card has melted from over use.
- Everyone knows the best radio is when you are in rush hour. Listen to news and find out where the best gridlocks are and jam!
- Oil changes? Come on, its just oil, what could be the harm in leaving it alone?
- Carpooling is for sissies. Race your coworkers to work, but sit in the parking lot and laugh when they all get out.
- Drive down your driveway to your mailbox to get your mail. Keep a log of how fast you can do this.
