Save Money on Driving

Inflate Your Tires

Keeping your tires inflated will save you money on gas. Tires that are low in air pressure cause your engine to work harder and waste more gas. Refer to your car's instruction manual to find the optimum tire pressure.

Change Your Oil When Needed

Standard convention says to change your oil every 3,000 miles. Often, this isn't necessary as oil lasts longer today than it used to.
