Here are some simple ways to save gas.
Slow down. Remember the 55 and stay a live era? Reduce cargo weight and keep it inside the vehicle. Moderate speed changes, which means no jackrabbit starts or hard breaking for lights and cornering. Tune up with spark plugs and air filter. Change the oil when due. Maintain proper tire pressure. Car pool, combine trips and stay home one day a week without starting the auto at all.
Now, not turning ones car on for a day is a sure fire way to save gas. Also if enough persons did this and made it habitual gas prices might fall due to lower demand. Saturday or Sunday would be the likeliest choices for a no vehicle gas burning stay at home day. Encourage your neighbors and coworkers to join this weekly “sabbath” to save gas. Plan all you errands and shopping to fall on the other six days so you will not have to drive anywhere that one day a week. If some one drives up to visit during your stay at home day feel free to have this page copied to handout, sending them on their way with the encouragement to do the same.
