Here are some life hacks that will help you save money at the gas pump. Courtesy of 1000lifehacks.com and fueleconomy.gov.

1. FuelMyRoute.com will tell you the lowest possible gas prices along your route.

2. Remove excess weight from your car. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle can reduce your MPG by 1% (or about 2 cents per gallon).

3. Want more gas for your buck?  Fill up your tank late at night or early in the morning. Gasoline expands and contracts by 1% for every fifteen degrees the temperature changes. It tends to be cooler at night or early morning, which means more gas per dollar.

4. Use cruise control. It will help you maintain a constant speed and save gas.

5. Each 5 mph you drive over 60 is like paying an additional 10 cents a gallon for gas.

6. You can improve your gas mileage by up to 3% (6 cents per gallon) by keeping your tires properly inflated, plus this will make your tires last longer.

7. When filling up your car with gas, hold the trigger halfway. You’ll get more gas and less air in the tank.

8. Getting premium gas for a car is said to make almost no difference in performance.

9. Instead of letting your car idle in the drive-through, park and go inside to get your food. It might take a little longer, but it’ll save you gas.
