Useful Money-Saving Tools

Now that you're informed on maintenance to keep your car running with its optimal MPG, and we've gone over some gas-saving driving tips - let's see what other useful tools their are for maintaining your best gas mileage possible.

Any smart phone will have some sort of MPG calculator application. If you’re not a smart phone user, use this website, which is just an online MPG calculator. If you're thinking of purchasing a new car, this site will let you enter in your current vehicle's gas mileage information alongside your vehicle of interest and will show you how much money you will save (or not save) by switching to that particular vehicle.

The iTunes app store has a few useful applications as well, the three most popular are Car Minder Plus, which keeps logs of your maintenance schedule and tracks your fuel economy; Gas Buddy, which uses your current location to find the cheapest gas near you when you're ready to fill up; and Gas Cubby, which like Car Minder Plus reminds you of needed maintenance and gas mileage.

If you're not an iPhone user, you can also check out Vermont gas prices by visiting this website (powered by Gas Buddy), which has a list of every gas station in Vermont and their real-time prices. For any tips, tricks or advice, feel free to visit fueleconomy.gov for more information – they have material on just about anything concerning fuel economy.

Thank you for reading up on our advice, tips and tricks regarding fuel economy. We hope you've learned a few things, and don't forget to head to our Service Center to receive your complimentary inspection and utilize your maintenance coupon!
