1. Stay Up to Date on Routine Maintenance
If you want to save money on gas, you need to stay up to date on routine maintenance. You may feel like if your car is working well, you don't have to take it to the shop; however, it is always better to make sure your car is operating as efficiently as possible. The best way to do so is to invest in routine maintenance. At Gerry Lane Cadillac, we have one of the best service centers in the local area, and it would be our pleasure to help you take care of your car.

2. Find a Fuel Rewards Credit Card
You can also save money on gas if you find a fuel rewards credit card. For example, there are some credit cards that have a multiplier when you put gas in your car. This means that you can increase the rewards you get from the gas station. Some gas companies even make their own credit cards. You may want to consider taking a look at a few of these cards, particularly if you

3. Lighten the Load

Next, you should consider lightening the load if you want to save money on gas. What this means is that you should remove items from your car if you do not need them. For example, you may have some heavy sports equipment in the trunk that you don't use very often. If
that is the case, remove it and put it somewhere else. The reality is that your car will not burn as much gas if it doesn't have to carry as much weight. Try to lighten the load if you want to spend less money on gas.

4. Consolidate Your Trips

If you are tired of spending so much money on gas, find a way to drive less. For example, you may want to take a look at all of the trips you take on a given day, consolidate them into one, and drive fewer miles. If you drive fewer miles, you use less gas. Furthermore, try to drive when the weather is nice outside. If you try to drive in severe weather, your car will have to work harder to get you from place to place. You can prevent this from happening if you drive when the sun is shining instead of when there is a thunderstorm outside.

5. Find a More Fuel-Efficient Car

Finally, you may want to find a more fuel-efficient car. For example, if you are driving a pickup truck right now, you might get better gas mileage if you drive a sedan instead. Furthermore, cars, from newer model years tend to have better gas mileage. If you want to remove your dependence on fuel entirely, you might even be interested in an electric car. At Gerry Lane Cadillac, we have plenty of fuel-efficient vehicles you can drive to save money on gas.
