If you are a mother of many children, you will have to send them to school, pick them up from school, go to the market to buy the daily necessities and food, pay bills and many more. In short, you will need a car to do all that. 

If you can tweak a bit of your daily routine, you will be able to save more fuel and in the long run, more money.

You might ask, just how can I tweak my daily routine when I am so used to it?

First of all, are you an internet savvy user? If you are not, then perhaps you should learn a few things about the internet. If you are, congratulations, you are on your way to saving more fuel and more money.

First of all, you cannot abandon the idea of sending and picking up your kids from school and you will have to do you grocery shopping as well so this is what you can do.

1. You can first send your kids to school, then go to the market and do your shopping for as long as it takes until when it is time to pick up your kids from school and then head home.

2. If you need to pay bills, do it online. You can simply click a few buttons to pay your bills at the comfort of your home. There is no need to go out just to pay bills. Save more fuel and more money.

3. If you want to shop for clothing or non perishable goods, you can try online shopping. The best thing about online shopping is you might get free delivery depending on how much you spend.

4. If you are doing grocery shopping, maybe it would be best to do it once a week. This way, you can either leave your kids at home or bring them along.  

5. As for daddy, the only way to save fuel is to take the public transport to work but for some it is quite impossible especially those who need to travel for meetings and all.

6. If you work from home, you can even save more but before you jump into the bandwagon, make sure you can provide enough for the family. There are many people working from home and this way you don’t have to spend on fuel to go to work.

When I was a little girl we lived in a town of 1200 people in Oregon. An uncle came to visit and was horrified at the price of gas in our little town. I remember it was 41 cents a gallon and he said it was 21 cents where he lived. That didn’t mean anything to me then but the high cost of gas today sure does mean something to me. We are all probably feeling the pinch in our wallets when we fill up at the pump. Here are some gas saving tips to help us all save some money to take a little of the sting out of filling up at the pump:

Fill up your car in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. All service stations have their tanks buried below ground so the colder the ground the more dense the gasoline. As it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or evening your gallon is not exactly a gallon.

When you are filling up DO NOT squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to fast mode. When you pump the gasoline slower it minimizes the vapors that are created. All hoses have a vapor return, if you are pumping in fast mode; some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you are getting less worth for your money.

Fill up when your tank is half full or half empty. The more gas you have in your tank the less air is occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates at an extremely fast rate. The gasoline storage tank has an eternal floating roof that serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

Follow your owner’s manual recommendation for the right octane level for your car. For most cars the recommended gas is regular octane. A higher octane gas than recommended does not have a higher benefit.

Be careful of gas saving gadgets. The EPA has tested supposed gas saving devices and has found few that provide fuel economy benefits. Check out "Fact or Fuelishness" at http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/autos/aut10.shtm

Combine errands as several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much fuel as one trip driving the same distance when the engine is warm.

Carpooling is an option to driving alone and many cities have programs to match those who want to carpool, or they offer ride share vans.

Drive at a consistent speed, even in traffic. Too much braking wastes as much fuel as rapid acceleration. Applying the brakes kills momentum and then you have to speed up again which wastes gas.

Accelerate slowly. A pretty simple tip that will leave you with more gas in your tank and less visits to the pump.

Unnecessary idling wastes fuel, costs you money and pollutes the air.

Keeping tires inflated and aligned can increase gas mileage up to 3

Clean oil reduces wear caused by friction between moving parts and removes harmful substances from the engine.

Quick starts and stops eat up the fuel. In-town gas mileage can be improved by up to 5% by driving at an even speed.
