Tips to Save Money on Transportation Costs
Prices go higher every year, especially the cost of gas. Transportation is one big factor that makes the household budget tight and makes it difficult to cover all your expenses. Here are some guidelines to help you save money from transportation:
1. To save money, you must check your vehicle regularly. A well-maintained vehicle can save you from large car repair costs. Its been said that you can spend 
only $50 to maintain your vehicle and save up to $800 on repair costs in a year. You can save more if you do the maintenance yourself.
2. If you want to save more money, it is recommended not to buy a new car. The value of a car depreciates automatically when you drive it off the car lot. You can buy a car that was used at least one year. That will save you thousands of dollars instead of being a new car. The original owner “paid” for the initial depreciated value of the car.
3. Save money on buying used cars by comparing the prices of the car dealer and the actual price on the list of the used car dealer ads. To ensure the car that you buy is well conditioned, you may ask for the help of a mechanic to check the condition of the car for the price being asked. It is better to buy a used car from a person you know and trust. This will help you make sure you get a good deal.
4. Try to compare gasoline rates. You may refuel your car with the gasoline station that offers the lowest price on gasoline. You can even save more by pumping gas yourself and use the lowest octane in your car’s manual. It is also recommended that you pay cash instead of credit cards that can charge extra rates. Always check the gas cap to ensure no gas is spilled out.
5. Always keep your engine tuned-up and have your tires inflated to their desired pressure to save you more money. A well-maintained engine consumes less gas. Keep your car’s trunk clean to save more fuel. Heavy loads in your vehicle can consume more fuel because of the excess weight it carries.
6. Try to limit the use of your car on your daily route. You may take the bus or the subway to save gasoline.
