Do you really want to wait for scientists to discover new fuel sources? Hate paying three to four dollars per gallon every time you need to fill up? Well I have got some simple tips for you that will help you save just a little more at the gas pump.
1. Do not slam on the gas when you are leaving a stop sign or stop light. The more you step on the gas pedal the more gas you are releasing into your engine, which in turn, uses more gas!
2. Clean your engine regularly with some type of degreaser. Studies have shown that a clean engine runs well and burns less fuel.
3. Make sure that your tires are equally filled. This will significantly help you reach your engine’s potential because the engine does not have to work as hard to balance out the tires.
4. Do not have excess weight. Excess weight causes your engine to work harder, especially at greater speeds.
5. When it comes to your fuel injectors, make sure that you clean them regularly. If you have ever seen the recent Shell Gas Station commercials about how their gas can help clean your valves, pistons, and fuel injectors, listen to them! Well you do not have to necessarily purchase their gas, but do some research on different companies and maybe ask to see their test results. You may even find some surprising details about the different companies that you never even thought of. Some good fuel injector cleaners would be Valvoline, Penzoil, and Castrol. They are all good brands and would do the job.
Following these steps will help you significantly decrease the amount of money you spend at the gas pump. They will also help the environment at the same time.

I think this is a great article because it is very relevant to everybody that owns a car. I found the tips in this article very useful and I'm sure many other people will to.
Great post! I honestly did not know anything you said before I read it. The info is great because with the economy the way it is right now, I think everyone can appreciate ways to save money...especially with gas.
I learned a lot from this post. I know everything you mentioned is little, but the little things add up and with today's energy crisis every little bit counts.
I also think this was a very relevant post. I didn't learn anything new from it and I don't buy gas anymore since I don't have a car. But it is very helpful in principle and if I were driving I would surely be doing these things.
