Only 15 percent of the fuel that you put into your car gets used and the rest of the energy is lost for many reasons. It is important to maintain your car and have an understanding of how your vehicle operates.
If this information is foreign to you, you may consider taking a basic mechanics course to gain some knowledge.
The more that you understand about the way that your vehicle runs, and what it takes to properly maintain it, the more success you will have when it comes to understanding what steps to take to start saving money.
If only 15 percent of the fuel that you pay for gets used that means that you need to be absolutely certain that the condition in which your car is running is as efficient as it can be.
In addition to a mechanics course you may be able to find fuel saving tips that are available through a small mini-course at your local college.
You can try to shop around in your local area for the cheapest gas that you can find but you shouldn't go too far out of your way to try and get that best price unless you�re already traveling in that direction anyway.
Once you start driving around looking for the gas pump that can beat the one in your neighborhood you start to increase the amount of money that you spend on your driving expenses.
Since your goal is to save money you would be defeating the purpose by driving around for too long. Studies done by the AAA indicate that it will cost you approximately 51.7 cents per mile to drive your car this year.
Keep in mind that the IRS will only allow a deduction of 36 cents per mile so driving too far to get the cheapest gas isn�t always cost efficient. While you are driving to a location that you would normally be going anyway you can of course keep your eyes open for the cheapest gas.
