Use Less Gas

Less gas means fewer emissions and more money in your pocket. Here are some tips to save money and help reduce gasoline consumption.

- Fill the tank with a lower-octane gasoline: Buy the lowest grade or octane of gasoline appropriate for your vehicle.

- Don’t top it off: Extra gas slops around or seeps out, so don’t waste money on wasted fuel. Stop pumping when the automatic nozzle clicks off.

- Tighten up the gas cap. Gas evaporates from a car's gas tank if it can escape. Loose, missing or damaged gas caps cause 147 million gallons of gas to evaporate each year, according to the Car Care Council.
