Commuting

There are ways that you can get to work that will help you save on gas consumption for your car.

· When driving to work, avoid the peak times for rush hours. This way you’ll use up less fuel and you’ll spend less of you precious time sitting around in heavy traffic.

· Try telecommuting from work if you’re in a position to do so.

· If you are the owner of more than one vehicle, you should try to drive the car that has the best gas mileage more often than the one with higher gas mileage. Save the vehicle with the lower gas mileage for those trips when you don’t want your new vehicle damaged or don’t want to put the miles on the odometer.

· Find out about ride-sharing programs and carpools that are available in your local area. By commuting to work with others, you’ll be cutting your monthly fuel costs by as much as half. You’ll also be saving on the wear and tear of your car.

· Use the public transit service if it’s convenient for you and available where you live. You may be able to drive your vehicle to the bus depot and commute from there. Even though you’re still driving your car part way to work, you’ll still notice a substantial savings when it comes to the cost of your commute to and from work.
