7 Ways to Save on Gas!

With gas prices going up and up, we need to be creative in how we save!  I don't know if you feel the same way, but I swear when gas prices go up...my car runs out of gas faster! Check out these ways to save on gas!


1.) Use a STP Gas treatment.
This much-lauded additive cleans your engine and fuel intake system while fighting fuel-line freeze, thus boosting your car’s performance and mileage. You should use it a few times to see full benefits, but you will: at least 10% improved mileage, all while protecting your engine.


2.)Inflate those tires!
Countless studies have shown that cars with properly inflated and balanced tires get better gas mileage — around 3.3%, according to government stats.


3.) Change your oil, and put the right oil in.
This is key for older cars especially, which in many cases will benefit from using 5W-30 motor oil.


4.) Buy low-octane gasoline.
Unless your car specifically requires premium, skip it and go for low-octane fuel.


5.) Use MurphyUSA's smartphone app to find the cheapest prices instead of driving around looking for the best deal.


6.) Shop at Price Chopper and get $.05 off per gallon of gas for every $50 you buy in groceries!  Or shop at Walmart (MurphyUSA) or Sam's and use your Sam's card to get .03 off per gallon.


7.) Car Pool or Walk...this seems obvious! Or just stay home! :)


Have any other ideas for ways to save on gas?  I'd love to hear about them!
