"Allstate is committed to helping customers save money on the road and at the pump.

That includes finding cheaper gas to getting discounted pricing on routine car maintenance that can improve fuel efficiency."
How can you save on gas and take steps that help you stay safe on the road?
In addition to comparing gas prices, Allstate recommends a few often-overlooked steps to take before a road trip that can improve fuel efficiency and safety:
- Check tire pressure before you leave. Underinflated tires create more resistance on the road, which can reduce fuel efficiency and affect handling. Properly inflated tires help vehicles run more efficiently, especially on long highway drives.
- Clear out your trunk and roof racks. Extra weight forces your engine to work harder. Removing unnecessary items from your trunk, roof rack or cargo area can improve mileage and make your vehicle easier to control during sudden stops.
- Drive smoother, not faster. Rapid acceleration, speeding and hard braking burn more fuel and increase crash risk. Combine errands to take fewer trips and maintain a steady speed to stretch a tank of gas while reducing wear on your vehicle.
How else can Allstate customers save in the mobile app?
The Allstate app helps drivers save money beyond the pump by taking the guesswork out of car care. Customers can compare prices and schedule routine maintenance like oil changes, tire services and brake work directly in the app, helping them avoid overpaying or delaying maintenance that can lead to costlier repairs down the road. When repairs are needed, customers can also find nearby shops in Allstate's Good Hands Repair Network, a nationwide group of prescreened auto body shops backed by a lifetime guarantee on repairs2.
