Popular Myths about Fuel Economy

Everyone is obsessed with improving fuel economy, which means they will try out any trick or tip they hear in order to save money on gas. However, there are some tips that are flat out not true, so make sure you read below to make sure you’re not the one getting fooled.
There has long been a theory that cheap, independent gas companies have poor quality fuel. However, since there are so many laws that a gas station must abide by, getting fuel at a less expensive place shouldn’t have an effect on your fuel economy.
Another popular idea is that filling up late at night or early in the morning will allow you to get more bang for your buck. Although, since tanks are stored underground, the difference is actually negligible.
Many people also make the mistake of using premium gas for an engine that take regular. However, unless your manual specifically states you should use it, premium gas will do next to nothing for a vehicle with a regular engine.
Finally, instead of purchasing “energy saving tires,” a better method to improving your fuel efficiency is to ensure your regular tires are properly inflated and aligned with one another.
