 Tips to save on your gasoline

•  Try the alternatives

For short trips, consider walking, biking or taking public transportation, if available. Join a carpool or vanpool. Telecommute if and when possible.

• Plan ahead to save

Plan your driving and combine several errands into one car trip.

• Drive with a “soft foot”

Wait a few seconds after starting your car, then drive off gently. Avoid sudden starts and stops. Make smooth, gradual lane changes. Build up speed in anticipation of approaching a hill.

• Avoid unnecessary idling

Turn off the car while you wait and restart when you’re ready to go. Idling consumes 1/2 to 1 gallon of gas per hour.
