What Really Saves Money On Gasoline?

Well, we haven’t found a solar car that is really available to the public for an affordable price. So until that happens we decided to look for some tips that will save on gasoline consumption. Of course, with all of the buzz over high gasoline prices, we saw a lot of wild ideas out there, but we decided to offer tested tips instead.

So we found these tested gasoline savings tips on the Frugal Pig. Most of them include being a moderate driver, rather then an agressive driver. Keeping your speed moderate, without agressive driving, really does help save lots of gas! Also, avoid idling for more then a minute. If you find yourself parked, with the A/C on, then it might be time to leave your car and find a cool place to wait.
