Saving at the Pump and Beyond

It's also possible to save money at the gas pump. Which of these ideas will help you conserve cash and gas?

  1. Use a higher octane gas than your car requires, so your engine runs more smoothly.
  2. Visit websites and use specialized phone apps to find out where the cheapest gas is located in your area.
  3. Fuel up as often as possible, so your tank is always full.

"B" is correct. Gas stations also advertise regular weekly specials at their locations. Before you fill up, check your owner's manual to see what octane gas your car requires. Using a higher octane gas just wastes money. Also think twice before buying products or devices that claim to increase gas efficiency.
