Plan Better
While getting from point A to point B seems like the best way to save on gas, that's not always the case. Instead, it's best to take the route with less traffic, congestion, and construction. While driving more miles to save money on gas might sound counterproductive, it can be more fuel-efficient.

With this in mind, we implore you to plan your route ahead of time using map apps so you can maintain steady speeds and avoid traffic or city stoplights. Trust us; you will save a lot at the pump in the long run.
Drive on Good Tires
You can maximize your gas mileage when you have proper inflation in all four tires. While engine efficiency is also critical to your gas mileage, your tires need to be adequately inflated so your engine will be maximized to its full potential. If your tires are underinflated, your vehicle will get poor gas mileage, leading to more time and money being spent at the pump. That's why having your tries be appropriately inflated is an absolute must.
Remove Excess Weight
If your vehicle is heavy, it will lose gas mileage. So if you're looking for a simple solution on how to save at the pump, you can start by removing all unnecessary items from your car. But don't stop there! Try to avoid carrying bulky items on top of your roof as you will increase your vehicle's aerodynamics and help keep your car as fuel-efficient as possible. When you road-trip across the country, you should load your car with the essentials, but still, keep in mind that all the access weight will take its toll on your fuel economy.
Don't Warm Up Your Car
We know that mornings are chilly in the winter, and sitting in a nice and warm seat is nice, but it will take a toll on your fuel economy, which will lead. To more trips to the pump and less money in your wallet if you keep warning up your car. Modern vehicles don't need a lot of time to wake up in the morning, and letting your vehicle warm up for more than a few minutes is unnecessary. As gas prices continue to rise, the warmth will leave you cold as you spend more money at the pump.
Maintain Speed
When you become a better driver, you will learn how to save money on gas. You will get better miles to the gallon when you maintain a constant speed behind the wheel. Over time, your car will become more fuel-efficient which means you will spend less money at the gas station.
