Gas Saving Tips for Waukegan Drivers

Pay cash at stations offering a cash vs. credit discount — typically 5-10 cents per gallon savings that adds up significantly over time.
Do not let your tank run below a quarter — low fuel levels increase wear on electric fuel pumps and can lead to emergency fill-ups at inconvenient and expensive stations.
Check fuel prices across state lines if you regularly travel near a border. State fuel taxes vary by up to 50 cents per gallon — the savings from crossing into a lower-tax state can be dramatic.
Use cruise control on highways to maintain steady speed. Speed variability increases fuel consumption; steady-state driving at 65 MPH uses significantly less fuel than oscillating between 55 and 75.
Avoid idling for more than 60 seconds. Modern engines warm up faster while driving than idling, and idling gets literally zero miles per gallon.
