1) Buy a car known for being fuel-efficient. The helpful, knowledgeable sales team at Berlin City Kia in Maine can point you in the direction of our most fuel-efficient cars, trucks, and SUV’s.

2) Keep your car maintained properly. Regular oil changes, filter replacements and fluid cleanings will keep your running smoothly and will save you money at the pumps.

3) Keep your tires properly inflated. Improper tire inflation not only does damage to your tires but uses more gas as you drive. Overinflated tires are just as bad as underinflated tires.

4) Shop around for the best gas prices. Even if you have to drive an extra mile or two to save several cents on the gallon, it’s worth it. Use fuel points cards at grocery stores and pump gas at stations that honor reward points.

5) Alter commute times, when possible. Stop and go traffic uses more gas than driving without stopping constantly in bumper-to-bumper traffic.

6) Consolidate errand running trips, when possible.

7) Pump gas during the coolest hours of the day because at these times gas is densest, which means you have to pump less of it to fill your tank.
