Oklahoma City Ram Truck shoppers Save Money at the Gas Pump

The average price for a gallon of regular gas in Oklahoma City this week is $3.08. Filling up a 16+gallon tank that the Ram Truck provides at that price will set you back nearly $50 or more!

Norman Chrysler Jeep Dodge, your place for a New Truck near Oklahoma City, may have little control over the price of gas, but we do have control over a number of other factors that will help save money at the pump. 

Five great tips on saving money on fuel

1.Lighten your load. Clean out the trunk of your car and remove any unnecessary items. An extra 100lbs will reduce your fuel economy by 2%

2.
When possible, carpool, bike, walk or take public transportation. Air up those tires in your old bike and hit the road again. Taking your bike rather than driving will not only save you money at the pump, it will also help you stick to that New Year’s Resolution to lose weight! If you’re ever in a city with a Metro service, a daily pass on METRO costs $4, just over the price of one gallon of gas. If you’re headed somewhere you can easily access via public transportation, hop on the next bus or take the METRO trolley.

3.Think physics. Without getting too complicated here, the less drag on your car, the better your fuel economy. Things like emptying your trunk, removing unnecessary luggage or bike racks and keeping your windows rolled up will reduce turbulence and save money. When it comes to the windows, on a hot day, go windows down, air conditioner off at slower speeds, and windows up, air conditioner on at higher speeds.

4.Tune up regularly. Keeping up with routine maintenance like oil changes will improve your overall fuel economy and help you save money at the pump. Tuning your engine regularly could improve fuel economy by 4%.

5.More driving, less stopping. Choose the route that requires fewer stops. Even if it is longer distance. Stopping/starting will use more gas than driving a short distance further.
