Gas prices are up again. If you want to improve your mileage and save money on your gas expenses, here are some quick tips.

• First, you can reduce your gas consumption by 31 to 37 percent simply by gently accelerating rather than gunning it.
• You can also save money by taking your foot off the accelerator as soon as you see a light ahead of you change.
• Slow down. It saves 12-14 percent in gasoline costs and you get the benefit of reducing your stress.
• Save 7-14 percent by using your cruise control. Humans don’t accelerate or decelerate as smoothly as a computer does.
• Finally, gasoline expands when it is warmer and contracts when it is cooler. Fill up in the morning where you will have fewer fumes and more liquid.
