Q. With the high price of fuel, what are some things I can do to save at
the pump?
A. Here are some simple things to do:
- Slow down. Reducing speed from 65 to 55 mph can typically save up to 10
percent. - Don’t buy a higher octane gasoline than your engine needs. Read the owner’s manual
for recommended grade. - Don’t carry unnecessary weight, such as full water tanks, when staying at
campgrounds with hookups. - Consider leaving the dinghy vehicle at home and taking bicycles for local
trips.
