Nothing makes me happier than packing up the family and heading out on another weekend adventure. Several members of The Gooch Firm, P.C. have recently packed up the family and headed to places like West Yellowstone and Moab. Like everyone I struggle to show my family a good time, without depleting my bank account. Through market research, and first-hand experience I have found a few ways that save money at the pump, and get more miles per gallon from your car. Below are some tips provided by, Utah Truck Accident Attorney, Jeffrey D. Gooch. I have found these tips to work wonders, enjoy: â€First and foremost driving costs money. Try to limit your driving or look into public transportation such as a bus or our wonderfully useful UTA track system. â€Maintain your vehicle. Simple things such as being on top of your oil changes, keeping your tires nice and inflated at the factory recommended level, and changing out heavily used spark plugs will do wonders for your vehicles gas mileage. â€Fill your vehicle wisely. Do not simply add $5 to $10 dollars at the pump just to get you to your next destination. Not only will you be driving unnecessary distances to and from the pump, you will also deplete your vehicle’s miles per gallon. â€Do things that most of us do not often think about. For example, plan your driving for the day in advance in order to drive the most effective route. Try to avoid idling, try small differences like parking at a restaurant, as opposed to driving through a crowded drive-thru. â€There are many different notions concerning whether rolling your windows down, or using the air conditioner uses more gas. According to my experience and the Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association it depends on the vehicle and driving situations. As a rule of thumb it is more economical to drive with the windows rolled down in slower driving conditions under 40mph. However in highway driving at greater speeds it is easier on the car, and more economical to drive with the windows up and the air conditioner going. This does all depend however on the style of your vehicle and how aerodynamic the vehicle is designed. â€For air conditioning effectiveness it is recommended to blow the hot air out of your car first with the windows down, and then turn on the air conditioning after a couple minutes. This will make the air conditioners job easier to cool down the car. If your vehicle has the capabilities have the air conditioner recirculate the air from inside the car, as opposed to sucking in the hot air from outside and trying to cool that down. I hope you can implement some of these tips and techniques to save yourself a few dollars at the pump each week. Remember, only you know how your vehicle drives and how to run your car in the most effective manner. Do what you believe reacts best with your vehicle and greater gas mileage is sure to naturally happen.
