At this time, gas prices are edges of four dollars per gallon, and there is really no indication that prices will never fall. If not too long before we are looking at five dollars a gallon. Everyone is feeling this crisis, and many people resort to alternative means of transport.

Unfortunately, car pooling, bicycling, and taking the bus is not always a viable option, especially for people living in rural or in a neighborhood or a city expanding, especially in Southern California. But as driver, there are some things you can do to increase the fuel efficiency of its Jeep and I make four dollars stretch a little more.

First, always check the oil, transmission fluid, and belts. If the engine not working effectively, its fuel efficiency will suffer. You should always check your fluids and belts anyway, but this is extra motivation to be diligent in fluid levels and the strength of the belt. Second, keep an eye on air pressure in your tires. Inflated tires can increase the resistance your vehicle, which increases the engine power required, thus increasing the gas consumed. Third, clean the car of unnecessary weight.

Do not tow objects heavy in the back seat just because you're using it as additional storage space or are too lazy to carry it out. The heavier is a vehicle the more gas you will use. Finally, be careful to accelerate and brake slowly. Do not drive with great caution. Driving in a reasonable time steady pace and make your engine work less gas last longer.
