- Technical Service Bulletins are car warranties covering problems inherent in the design of the car. You can search yourself for repairs that are fully covered by the manufacturer. The Technical Service Bulletins Search Engine will allow searches of summaries of the Manufacturers' Technical Service Bulletins by single year make and model at, http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/tsb/.
- Consolidating errands can conserve energy and wear and tear on your car.
- www.Gasbuddy.com. According to the website, “It is a network of more than 173+ gas price information web sites that helps you find low gasoline prices. All web sites are operated by GasBuddy and have the most comprehensive listings of gas prices anywhere”.
- Keep your engine maintained and your tires at the proper pressure. When tires have too little air, they reduce fuel efficiency. Use the family's most economical vehicle for longer trips.
- Auto insurance. Rates will vary; it pays to shop around. Lower insurance rates by raising your deductibles on collision and comprehensive coverage to at least $500. If you have a car more than seven years old, consider dropping the comprehensive coverage altogether. It may be more expensive over time, than the benefit you would receive in a claim.
