Gas Saving Tip #1: Convert your car to a Hydrogen Hybrid.
If you have done any research online within the past year on gas saving tips you have probably ran across websites offering Hydrogen Kits for cars and trucks. These are DIY kits that can be built for less then $100 using parts found at your local Home Depot. If you are not familiar with these kits I highly recommend checking them out. Many people claim to increase their gas mileage by 35 – 40%.

Gas Saving Tip #2: Keep your tires properly inflated.
Buy a quality tire gauge and check the pressure of your tires. Make sure they are inflated according to the manufactures recommendations. Under inflated tires require additional horsepower to rotate, thus consuming more gas. Most cars list the recommend tire pressure on a plate on the inside driver’s door. If you cannot locate it their it will be listed in the owner’s manual.

Gas Saving Tip #3: Lighten up your load by removing unnecessary weight.
Don’t go crazy and rip out your back seats or the insulation but get rid of anything in your trunk, glove box or in the back of your car that you absolutely don’t need. Shedding off weight allows your engine to not work as hard to accelerate the car forward thus using less fuel. This won’t be a huge savings unless you make it a habit of keeping your trunk full of crap – but every bit helps and will add up.

Gas Saving Tip #4: Slow down Mario Andretti
Accelerating aggressively forces your vehicle to use maximum gas to achieve your desired speed. Many test have proven that gradual acceleration has a significant impact on your gas consumption so slow down and see what kind of saving you achieve.

Using cruise control in high traffic or roads with hill will have the opposite effect due to the car constantly accelerating/de-accelerating to maintain your set speed.

Gas Saving Tip #6: Fill up at the coolest time of day.
Fuel is denser when it’s cool so filling up in the morning or late evening will allow more fuel in your tank.

Gas Saving Tip #7: Remove bicycle or ski racks when not being used.
Not only will removing the extra weight help but more important you will be reducing the drag making your vehicle more aerodynamic. This could have a significant savings over a long trip.

When you think of credit cards, you would generally think of interests. Well, you are right to think of interest since gas credit cards do carry an annual percentage rate. And if you own a business, you will be wary of interest payments. However, gas credit cards promises to offer you opportunities for bigger savings.

Gas credit cards is just like you ordinary credit cards only that you save every time you use it to pay for gas purchases. This type of card offers rebates for every gas purchase, usually from 2% to 5%. These rebates are accumulated in the form of rewards points which can be converted into cash back or other types of rewards. Depending on the card company, the other types of rewards are airline tickets, products and gift certificates. While all these types of rewards are equally good, it is the cash back reward that offers more opportunities for savings. Once you use a cash back reward to pay for gas purchases, you earn rewards on it too. This way, you earn double rewards. And, if you continue to use your cash back rewards on gas purchases, you will be looking at a gas savings of up to 20%.

To fully max up your savings from using gas credit cards, all you have to do is pay your bill in full and on time to avoid being charged with the annual percentage rate.

When you go looking for a gas card for your landscaping business, be sure to get one that offers the highest percentage rebate. You may also want to check the form of rewards that the card offers. For more savings opportunities, go for cards that offer only cash backs. But if you are a frequent flier, then gas credit cards that offer airline tickets as rewards will appeal to you. Do not only check the percentage rebate and rewards form, check on how you redeem them as well. What is a reward if you can’t use them? Some companies have rebate caps so you may want to stay away from them and take note of expiration periods so you do not miss out on your rewards. Lastly, if you plan to maintain a balance on your card, get a card that offers the lowest APR since this interest can easily undermine your savings.

Gas cards can be a big gas saving opportunity for your landscaping business. Don’t miss out on this opportunity and start looking for the right gas card now.
