Get Pumped: Ten Ways You Can Save on Gas

Are you hitting the road before the summer ends? It’s always nice to find ways to save on money. Every penny counts! Here are ten ways you can get the most out of your tank and stretch your dollar out at the pump.

1. Check your air filter

Most people don’t think about this when it comes to gas, but a clean air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10%! Nearly one in four cars needs an air filter replacement. Maybe it’s time to get your car’s filter checked.

2. Tune up your engine

Your car engine can take a beating throughout the year. When was your last check-up? A maintained engine can improve mileage by up to 4%.

3. Tire Pressure

Keeping your tires pumped up can help you save at the pump. More than a quarter of vehicles are driving on deflated tires and the average inflation can cause a loss of about 2.8% in fuel efficiency.

4. Slow Down!

Driving down the road doesn’t have to be a NASCAR race. It may be convenient to get places faster, but it hurts your gas mileage. You can reduce your fuel consumption by 7% by driving around or below the highway speed limit.

5. Smooth ride

Are you a crazy driver? Smoothly accelerating and not slamming on breaks can help you save at the pump. Trying to keep a consistent speed can really help your wallet. Bad driving can add as much as one-third to your gas bill!

6. Lighten your load

Are you guilty of having half your house in your trunk or backseat? Getting rid of all the junk that doesn’t belong in your car can help you get better gas mileage! For every extra 100 pounds you carry, your vehicle loses close to 2% in fuel efficiency.

7. Time your trips to the pump

Filling your tank up in the middle of the week is when you will usually get your price. Gas prices typically increase close to the weekend or holidays due to the increased demand. Going to the pump at the right times can get you the price you want!

8. Smartphone Apps

Apps can help you find the cheapest gas prices in your area which can come in handy! Apps such as AAA Triptik or GasBuddy are some of the more popular ones.

9. Cruise Control

Using cruise control is huge when driving on the highway. It keeps your car at a steady speed and extends the life of your engine, it’s a win-win!

10. BP Driver Rewards and Superticket Savings

This is probably the most important tip to save on gas: our rewards program! After registering for your FREE Drivers Rewards car, you receive an instant 10 cents off per gallon. After that, for every 20 gallons of fuel purchased you receive 5 cents off per gallon! The Superticket is a way to stretch your dollar even further. We give you a series of instant savings, and a chance to win $100 in free gas every week. Some of the rewards include 5 cents off per gallon of gas, free 1 liter of Coke product, free coffee and much more!

Helpful Fuel Finding Apps

No one likes to pay high prices for gas. Whether you're on a business trip, a road trip vacation, or just doing your day-to-day driving, you'll want to pay the lowest price possible for your gas. Gas prices rise all around the world on a consistent basis. Luckily, iPhone and Smartphone users have access to very helpful fuel finding apps. These apps can help you find the lowest prices in your area without emptying your bank account.

GasBuddy

Perhaps the most notable app for finding the best prices is GasBuddy. This app has an easy to use interface and allows the user to access a large database of gas prices in your area by entering your city, state, or zip code. GasBuddy also gives you useful information about each station, such as the address and phone number, and it will even give you directions to the station of your choice. You can earn points and awards for reporting gas prices, and even have a chance to win $250 in gas every week.

Gas Guru: Cheap gas prices

This app is a good alternative to GasBuddy. Gas Guru pulls its prices from the Oil Price Information Service, making it one of the most accurate free apps available. The user interface is stunning, updates quickly, and lets you view not only the price changes, but the times they were updated. You can filter your search the type of gas you use (unleaded, regular, diesel, etc.) and label stations you visit most frequently. Gas Guru even gives you the locations and reviews of nearest ATM's, roadside assistance, restaurants, or places to grab a cup of coffee, then you can share your finds on Facebook.

YP Local Search & Gas Prices

If you are looking for something a little more all-inclusive, try the Yellow pages (YP) Local Search & Gas Prices App. Not only is it great for finding local gas prices, but it is also able to locate all sorts of deals and discounts in your area- from phone numbers and hours of operation to maps and directions, to photos- you can even upload your own! This app is powered by Yellowpages.com, putting over eighteen million businesses right in the palm of your hand. You'll save money on trips by going to other places that have cheap deals on your way to fuel up.

All three of these apps are free. If you travel a lot, you may want to try apps with a more polished interface like Fuel Finder ($2.99), or Smartfuel (which has a 30-day free trial period). These apps have all the same amenities as the other three, but are a bit more comprehensive and usually more accurate. Either way, gas station apps have the ability to help you harness the internet quickly and save you money each time you fill up.
