3.   Clear the Junk in Your Trunk!

Get rid of any unnecessary heavy items. More weight forces your car to burn more fuel. Get rid of the cargo and save some cash!

 

4.   Compare Prices. Finding the cheapest gas prices in your area will add up to a significant amount of money each month. Use an app like Gas Buddy to simplify this process. Everyone loves to get a good deal!

 

5.   Fill Up to the Fullest! Although it may seem more painful at first, filling up your tank rather than buying gas in smaller increments will save you money. PLUS you will be using more gas to travel to the gas station multiple times.

 

BONUS TIP: Fill up on Wednesdays, as gas prices seem to settle to their lowest mid-week.
