Sharon “Shellie” Souders Puts Customer Service First at the Crilly Agency

Here are 6 ways to Reduce Gas Costs

Increase your vehicle’s fuel efficiency and get better gas mileage:

1. Regular maintenance

Regular oil changes and tune-ups will help keep your car running at peak performance.

2. Consolidate trips

Try to plan trips in advance, and combine errands whenever possible. Why not stop at the grocery store and post office on the way back from getting your hair cut?

3. Carpool When You Can

Going to the same place as your neighbor? Meeting friends for lunch? If you can drive together, you’ll be burning less gasoline. Trade off and save money

4. Drive conservatively

Accelerating and braking quickly can make your engine work harder and burn more fuel. Avoid slamming on the brakes or accelerating rapidly, except in emergency situations.

5. Clean out your car

Extra junk in your trunk weighs down your vehicle, which means you use more gas to get around. Remove heavy items that you don’t regularly use.

6.  Shift earlier

High RPMs = low fuel efficiency. That means driving like you’re racing the car next to you isn’t going to cut your fuel costs. If your car has a standard transmission, upshift earlier to reduce fuel consumption. Actual RPMs will vary by model, so check your owner’s manual to learn when to shift to the next highest gear

The Crilly Agency can help you with life insurance and property and casualty products including business and liability insurance, farm, tenant, homeowner, auto, and boat insurance.

We are independent, which means we offer our customers a choice when it comes to selecting which carrier provides the best policy and pricing for their needs.  A captive agent, who works for one company, has limited products. One day, those products may not be right for you. An independent agent works with a variety of companies and thus has access to more markets. They will be able to get you coverage at the lowest prices and can also find ways to cover potential gaps in insurance to work with policies you already have.
