With Christmas and New Year’s approaching, travel plans will begin to pick up. Here are a few ways to reduce your gas costs this holiday season.Â
1.  Cold weather warm-up.  Avoid prolonged warming up of the engine, even on extremely cold mornings, 30 to 45 seconds is plenty of time.
Â
2. Ice and snow build-up. During cold weather watch for icicles frozen to the car frame. Unremoved snow and ice cause tremendous wind resistance.
Â
3.  Fuel line freeze-up. Use special gas additives to prevent winter freezing of gas lines.
