How to Save Gas in 5 Simple Steps

There is no point driving around searching for the cheapest price at a gas station when there are better ways to reduce your gas bill. It doesn't matter if you drive a car, RV, truck or the fuel you need is for a generator or boat, your hip pocket will have felt the effect of rising prices.

Here are perhaps the five best ways to pay less for fuel, some are obvious, the others may be new to you, but they are within the reach of every consumer.

1. Reassess your driving style. Drive in a smooth, regular manner avoiding things like jack-rabbit starts and jerky driving. Don't drive in a stop/start way when a steady pace will get you to your destination just as well. Anticipate traffic slow downs and ease up on the accelerator before you need to brake.

2. Think twice before turning on your air conditioner. Before they were invented, we used to wind down the windows - why not try this before pushing the cooling button.

3. Plan your trips to avoid any backtracking or unnecessary journeys. Why not do the shopping after dropping the kids at school, or collect your groceries on the way home from work.

4. Try car-pooling. It's not always necessary for everyone to take a car to work, or for each parent to drive their child to school. Why not get a roster going. If the distance isn't far, why not walk instead? You will save fuel and get fitter as well.

5. Keep your car well maintained to improve its fuel economy. Poorly maintained engines lose up to 20% of the fuel you put into them - straight out your tailpipe as toxic emissions. Using a fuel reformulator will help maintain your engine and give you less unburnt fuel.

Many people do not understand that last, and very important point. Using a top of the range fuel reformulator means that you add just a small amount each time you fill your tank. Now don't confuse it with those 'fuel additives' you seen on retail shop shelves. This is quite different.

The most obvious difference is that you add just one ounce of fuel reformulator to your tank, not the whole bottle as with those other products (these will actually ADD to your fuel cost because they cost around $20 per bottle and you use it all in one go). These products are petroleum or alcohol based, unlike fuel reformulators e.g. Ethos FR, which is a natural and biodegradable product.

This product's key ingredients, esters, actually make your engine self-lubricating an self-cleaning. It removes carbon deposits that build up in your engine, which stops the unburnt gas loss via your tail pipe.

As well as saving you money by giving better fuel economy, the environmental benefits of fuel reformulators are noteworthy.

When the more reputable fuel reformulator manufacturers back their product with a Double Your Money Back Guarantee, there doesn't seem to be a reason not to see for yourself if it improves your fuel efficiency.

By implementing these five simple steps you will experience much better fuel economy resulting in cheaper gas bills.

Getting better fuel economy is the best way to reduce your gas bill. It doesn't matter what type of vehicle you drive, you can lower your fuel bill with some very simple steps.
