SAVING YOU MONEY: Isaac

Isaac is blowing in higher gas prices in tonight's Saving You Money report.  Analysts are calling it the biggest one day price increase at the pump in a year and a half.   And it all comes during the Labor Day weekend as Isaac batters the Gulf Coast's oil and gas hub.   But some of what you pay at the pump is in your control.      It starts with driving habits.  So called 'hot footing,' quick stops and starts.. as well as idling burn up a lot of gas.     And while you're watching your speed, also keep an eye on your RPM meter.   If this stays under two thousand, you'll burn less fuel.   With the weather cooling off, roll down the windows.     Jay Upchurch/ Crest Cadillac Sales Dept.     It's a strain on the engine. You've got a belt to turn the ac compressor.  You know,  if it's cool outside.. cut it off and rolL the windows down and definitely save on some gas. You can actually watch it w/  the ac on in a lot of cars it will use considerably a lot of gas with the ac on.   Your tire pressure sticker is right inside the driver's side door.  Keeping tires properly inflated means there's less contact patch with the ground, so your engine runs more efficiently.   Cruise control and clean air filters will also help you save. _______________ Stay up to date with our social media: WZTV on Facebook:   / foxnashville   WZTV on Twitter:   / foxnashville   Subscribe to WZTV on YouTube:    / @fox17nashville   Daily News Playlist:    • Playlist   For more information, visit https://fox17.com/ Have a news tip?
