Gas prices have been historically high in 2022 . According to the fuel price comparison site GasBuddy . com , as of June 2022 , the least expensive state for regular gas was Georgia , at $ 4.43 a gallon . The most expensive was California , where drivers could expect to pay about $ 6.34 per gallon . During June , which marks the beginning of the summer travel season in many areas , fuel costs in most part of the United States averaged around $ 5 per gallon .
With prices so high , many drivers have been looking for any way to save money at the pump . Some may have cut back on driving habits while others might have organized community carpools . Others may have taken to other modes of transportation . For those who have no option but to drive their vehicles , there are ways to reduce fuel consumption without resorting to walking or cycling .
Lighten your load
How much weight is being carted around in a vehicle can directly affect the amount of gas it consumes . Remove any unnecessary items from the trunk or cargo area of a truck or SUV . Consider removing extra accessories , like roof racks or hitches .
Slowly accelerate
Resist the urge to “ gun it ” when coming off a stop light or stop sign , as rapid

How to conserve fuel
( without giving up driving )
With prices so high , many drivers have been looking for ways to save money at the pump .
acceleration wastes gas . Press the accelerator pedal gently to increase speeds gradually and conserve fuel . Similarly , coast to a stop , rather than slamming on the brakes .
Don ’ t idle
Turn off the engine if you will be idling for more than a minute . Idling for longer than that is merely wasting fuel . Modern engines do not need to be warmed up for more than 30 to 60 seconds , even when the weather is cold . Driving will warm up the car faster than idling while parked , provided you drive moderately until the temperature gauge shows the car has reached the right temperature .
AC or windows open ? While it ’ s true that the air conditioning will drain fuel when in use , driving with the windows open makes the vehicle less aerodynamic by causing drag . Some experts recommended leaving the windows down during slower , city driving and using the AC for higher speeds on the highway .
Keep tires properly inflated
Poorly inflated tires can make a vehicle less efficient by causing more friction between tire and roadway . Check the PSI rating for the tires and inflate accordingly . Many modern vehicles automatically alert drivers when tires are low on air .
Drive a consistent speed
When driving on the highway , switch to cruise control to maintain a consistent speed . Driving steady reduces drag , which in turn reduces fuel consumption .
Stick to a maintenance schedule
Maintaining your vehicle by getting routine oil changes , fluid checks and other simple maintenance helps a car or truck run properly , and that can help conserve fuel .
These are just a few strategies drivers can employ to conserve fuel in the face of historically high gas prices .
