Looking for ways to save money on gas? Try implementing some of these tips:

Buy gas early in the week
Gas prices tend to be lower toward the beginning of the week and start to climb around Wednesday. 

Buy gas early morning or late night
Gas is more dense when it’s cooler and loses density as temperatures go up, causing you to get less bang for your buck when you’re at the pump.

Turn off your engine
Idling engines aren’t just contributors to atmospheric pollutants, they’re also major gas-guzzlers.

Avoid gas stations off highways
High-traffic gas stations are usually pricier than the gas stations off the beaten path. Make a plan to buy gas closer to home or work depending on where your daily schedule takes you.

Keep tires inflated
Fully inflated tires reduce friction and help your vehicle get better gas mileage. It’s better for the life of your tires, too.

You can also check different websites, like GasBuddy, to find the cheapest gas available in your area.
