While many oil companies have to face the dire consequences of a geopolitical feud that makes production especially expensive, consumers are reaping the benefits of lower gas prices. Although we’d love to see local facilities thriving at maximum production, this is just something we’ll have to wait for as the economy begins to inch its way back up.
For now, we will continue to supply essential equipment like NGL tanks and gas coolers to facilities and sites that need them as they pursue oil and gas production. However, we also see the brighter side of savings from the consumer point of view.
In the spirit of saving and surviving in the world of Coronavirus, here are some extra tips for using consumer-ready oil and gas wisely this summer.
Time When You Fill Up!
According to an article published in Forbes, one of the easiest ways for someone to save even more money on gas in their vehicle is timing when they decide to pump!
Based on information from Breitling Oil and Gas’ CEO, Chris Faulkner, gas prices generally rise at 10 a.m. on Thursdays in order to increase the cash flow of the weekend drivers. So, if you’ve been impacted by the economic circumstances of Coronavirus, remember to hit the pumps at the beginning of the week before gas station prices change.
Keep Up You Car’s Maintenance
The amount you spend on gas also depends on how well you maintain your car. Simple maintenance practices like filling up your tires with air, getting your tires rotated, and cleaning your car’s air filters can help you save a fair amount of gas money every month!
Invest in a Programmable Thermostat
Your air conditioner and heating unit use up gas in order to keep your home feeling comfortable. However, you don’t need your home at extreme temperatures at times when you’re not there to enjoy it. Save some money this summer by picking up a programmable thermostat and getting your home on a temperature timer. Not only will you remain happy with your home’s energy bill, but you’d never even know the temperature had changed if you time your adjustments right.
Let Your Dishwasher Do the Dirty Work
While we aren’t necessarily saying to let your dishes pile up in the kitchen, we are saying you should take a little time to fill up your dishwasher for one swift cleaning. Although your dishwasher does use energy to get its job done, we guarantee that when you frequently wash your dishes by hand every night, you’re consuming much more energy.
When your water heater has to consistently work to produce hot water for hand-washing dishes, be prepared to watch your energy bill increase during the summer months.
