Gas Is Expensive, But Your Wallet Doesn’t Have To Be Empty As A Result

As gas prices continue to rise, many drivers are feeling the pinch at the pump. But there are ways to save money on gasoline, even when prices are high.

Here are a few tips:

1. Buy the right vehicle for your needs. If you don’t need a big SUV or truck, don’t buy one. A smaller, more fuel-efficient vehicle will save you money in the long run. 2022 is the year to buy a hybrid or fully electric car. We can help you find the car you’re looking for here at Keffer Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM.

2. Drive less. If you can walk or carpool to your destination, do it! You’ll save gas and also get to spend time with family or friends.

3. Find the best gas prices in your area. Use an online price comparison tool to find the cheapest gas in your area. Google Maps and Waze often show the price of gas for all the gas stations in your area. Search first and save a few cents at the pump.

4. Make sure your car is properly tuned up and maintained. A well-tuned engine uses less gas, so you’ll save money at the pump. Here at Keffer Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM, we have our service and parts department to make sure your car is in tip-top shape and running as efficiently as possible to save you money on gas and expensive, unexpected repairs.

5. Keep your tires inflated to the correct pressure. Underinflated tires can reduce gas mileage by up to 3%. Check your owner’s manual or the placard on your driver’s door for the proper tire pressure for your vehicle.

By following these tips, you can save money on gas, even when prices are high. You can also come see us at Keffer Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM to find a fuel-efficient car that fits your needs and budget. We’ll help you keep your wallet from suffering when gas prices aren’t exactly ideal.
