Fact or Fiction for Fuel Savings
Since the beginning of the invention of cars people have found interesting and creative ways to save money on both the maintenance costs as well as the fuel costs for their vehicle. There are many crazy ideas out there about how to save money. I once had a neighbor who literally had a dent in the front of his vehicle because he didn’t want to use his brakes when he pulled into his garage and would often lightly hit the wall to make him stop. Drastic? …Yes…Did it save him money on the maintenance costs? …Highly unlikely…That being said, we are going to look at some fuel saving myths that you have probably heard a time or two and maybe have even secretly tried yourself in an effort to save money. With the help of money.msn.com, we are debunking some of the common fuel saving myths out there today.
1. “Buy gas early in the morning.” There is this idea that when you buy gas when it is cold that it will expand as it warms and actually give you more than you paid for. However, the gasoline is stored underground and starts out colder regardless of the time of day you purchase it.
2. “Overinflate your tires.” One thing that is true is that you should keep your tires maintained, however overinflating them in an attempt to create less resistance with the pavement and save money on fuel is not going to work.
