100. Cut Down On The A/C To Save Money In Your Car Too

Items Needed: N/A
Est. Price: Varies based on car

This hack depends on where you’re driving. It’s often thought that running the air conditioning in your car costs more money than rolling the windows down, but it’s actually not that simple. If you’re driving on the highway, roll your windows up and turn on the air conditioning. Your car will be more aerodynamic, with less drag and resistance on the vehicle.

Turn off the AC when you’re driving more slowly, like in your neighborhood or around the suburbs. Roll down the windows if you can, as you’ll waste less gas than if you blast the air conditioning for these slower travels.
