With gas prices continuing to climb, there are several steps you can take to save yourself money.
- Buy a fuel-efficient car. Large, heavy vehicles can burn up to three times as much fuel as a small car. UW Credit Union has great auto loan rates, plus if you finance a Hybrid vehicle through UW Credit Union, you can take an additional 0.25% off the interest rate on your loan.*
- Make sure your air filter is clean.
- Keep your tires filled with the right amount of air.
- Keep your clutch adjusted.
- Have enough oil in your car, and get your oil changed regularly.
- Choose the route with the flattest terrain and fewest stops.
- Use your air conditioner sparingly.
- Remove unused bike and luggage racks to make your car aerodynamic.
- Keep the windows closed when traveling at high speeds.
