Gas pump pain? 8 driving tips to save you $1,000 a year

gas pump

Want to save $1,000 a year on gas? With pump prices steadily rising, the CBC's automotive expert Doug Bethune shared eight tips to save you money:

The average Canadian driver uses 2,000 litres of fuel a year, Bethune said. At $1.40 a litre, he said following most of these tips will cut your fuel costs by 16 per cent — saving you $450 a year.

"It's up to 36 per cent if you do everything I've suggested — and that's $1,000 a year," he said.
