According to government statistics by the EIA (US Energy Information Administration), the average price of gasoline in California  is $3.02 per gallon. To put this in comparison, the average price for a gallon of gasoline in Texas in $2.61. While all of the Maita stores pride themselves on cars and trucks with great MPG, we wanted to offer some idea’s that can help to improve on the car you already have. We all want to do our part to be green, the air pollution caused by cars is a real problem both to the environment and our bodies. That being said, there is something to be said for the price of gas. It is a reality that we take into consideration when we make plans that involve driving.

Most of this is going to be a repeat of what your parents told you when you first started driving and is just good common sense. As is the case with many common sense ideas, it is worth repeating.

1. Keep your car in good running order. A tune up is a little bit of money out of pocket now but will help to increase your gas millage as well as avoid costly repairs in the future. This inst just for the older cars, if it’s supposed to be serviced than get it done.
2. Map it out. We all like to take a drive every once in awhile to enjoy the beautiful Sacramento sunset’s. Let’s tell the truth though, how much extra driving did you do to find your friends wedding. How many different stores did you go to looking for just the right pair of heels. With so many online map programs and GPS in most of today’s new cars it just doesn’t make sense to be lost. And guy’s, stop and ask for directions if you don’t know where something is.
3. Don’t drive across town to save .03 cents on a gallon of gas. You just spent a gallon of gas (See above at $3.02 per gallon) to save .51 cents.
4. Use your cruise control. It does make a difference, even the slightest increase and decrease (caused by a shifting foot) will put more stress on the engine which in turn will use more gas.
5. While we are on the subject of cruise control, let’s talk about the speed racer mentality some people seem to have on hwy 50. Life is busy, we have lots to do in a day that simply doesn’t seem to have enough time in it. It is a simple fact that lower speeds consume less gas. We are not saying that you need to poke along like your “Driving Ms Daisy” but the extra minute and a half you saved to get to the party is not only waisted gasoline but is lost by the time you checked yourself in your rear view mirror.

In the end it comes down to just driving smart. It’s not a test to see who has the greatest driving skills or that you shouldn’t use your car at all. You paid for the car and the gas, were just saying it helps to drive smarter. Car guy’s pay the same amount at the pump as everyone else. We just wanted to throw out some ideas that might help all of us.
