About Me

Everyone has something to talk, either it's words of wisdom or trash. The truth is we will never know which one it is. I personally like these two proverbs, "Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder" "The distances between insanity and genius is measured only by success"

Drive Yourself To Save Money

Fuel oil is getting expensive with world oil prices keep spiraling upwards. Oil is known as black gold. It’s a matter of time before it dried up completely as demand is higher than supply.

You can save money by driving your car with few simple tips. You can also help the oil to last longer at the same time.

Avoid aggressive driving. Yes, everyone of us did it. Speeding and hard braking can reduce your gas mileage faster than normal driving. Speeding is also dangerous and you putting yourself and others at risk.

Lighten the load of your car. The lighter you car, the more money you can save on gas. If hybrid cars are available in your country, then buy it. You protect the environment and future generations.

Plan your route. A short distance with frequent stop and go uses more gas than long distance with few stops. Frequent stop and go is bad for your engine. Wear and tear also more prevalent with this driving style.

Check your tire pressure and I mean really check it. My friend kicks her car tyre to check the pressure. If she feel the tyre is hard, no pumping required. Well, this is totally wrong. You must take off the valve cap to check tyre pressure and definitely not by kicking. Pump your tyres to the right pressure by following your car guideline.

There you have it. Simple tips to help you save money.
