One More Tip to Save You Money at the Gas Pump!

Okay, one more gas saving tip today might be a good idea. With gas prices at $4 bucks a gallon - and you can expect prices to shoot up even higher during summer - it's likely you'll be spending a lot at the gas pump in 2008! Here's one more tip to save money: When stuck in traffic, you’re getting zero miles per gallon. Zip. Nero. Nada. If you know you aren't going anywhere for awhile, do yourself and your car a favor and shut the engine off. This is how hybrid cars get good mileage ... the engine shuts off when stopped and an electric motor gets the car rolling again. The gas engine then kicks in at a pre-determined speed. Hybrid technology is definitely efficient. Shutting off the engine of a standard vehicle, rather than idling for long periods, will save you money in your pocket!
