I Save U Gas » Admin http://www.i-save-u-gas.com Helping you save money at the gas pump Mon, 24 May 2010 05:27:00 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Save Gas – By Checking Petrol Prices on the Internet http://www.i-save-u-gas.com/save-gas/save-gas-by-checking-petrol-prices-on-the-internet/ http://www.i-save-u-gas.com/save-gas/save-gas-by-checking-petrol-prices-on-the-internet/#comments Sun, 02 May 2010 23:24:30 +0000 Admin http://www.i-save-u-gas.com/?p=275 Did you know you can save gas by checking on the internet to see who’s got the cheapest prices for gas in your neighborhood today?

This way you can have the information right at your fingertips before you hop into your car to go and fuel up at the gas pump.

All you need do is search for the term ‘cheapest gas’ on the Internet and see what comes back. Then there are several sites on the web that can help you find the cheapest petrol prices in your local area.  And you can find your lowest local gas prices the very same day.
One of the best of these sites shows you all the gas price data for the complete United States and Canada. I think that’s pretty good, don’t you?
It is called GasBuddy, and it makes use of more than 166 different websites across the US and Canada to find you the most up-to-date and best gasoline prices on the day.
There are times that the price of gas will vary by up to 20 percent within a short radius so it’s important to you to know where to find cheapest gas each day. But don’t drive too far, or the money you might have saved will be lost by all that extra travel!
The information provided by GasBuddy is impressive. Just as an example, after inputting that I lived in California I was then directed to a list of gas prices sites for Los Angeles, Oakland, Orange County, Sacramento, San Bernadino, San Francisco and all the other major Californian areas. That makes it easy to drive directly to the most affordable gas pumps that day.

On the road, I’ve seen more SUV’s and minivans speeding and other forms of aggressive driving, when these types of vehicles are the least roadworthy when it comes to handling and most likely to roll over.

Why is there such a misconception among many whom drive these types of vehicles?

I called a rental car to rent a 4WD SUV and they said,"Do you mean a 4×4?" I thought they were the same thing.

Also, bonus points to someone who can tell me what the numbers signify. I know one of them tells you if it is a 2WD or 4WD, but what’s the other number for?

I have an old fashioned manual gearbox. Not this new stuff where there is no clutch. I have a foot-operated manual clutch on my car with a stock-standard four-on-the-floor stick shift gear change lever.

I really want to save gas as I drive.

What I want to know is, do I burn more gas in a higher gear or a lower gear. Where should I keep the RPM’s when I’m driving in the higher or lower gear at that as well? Example. It redlines at 9000 revs.

To save the most gas. Should I keep the engine revs halfway up the tachometer while driving in any gear, and should I be driving in a high or low gear to minimize my fuel consumption?
