Drive More Efficiently!
You
want to drive at the posted speed limits, driving at speeds in excess
of sixty miles per hour significantly decreases gas mileage. You can
significantly improve gas mileage by refraining from aggressive driving
behavior. Avoid unnecessary idling, which wastes gas and creates
pollution. By combining trips and planning errands can save you more
gas by making less trips. Use cruise control whenever appropriate.
Avoid roof top carriers and excessive weight within the car which cause
resistance.
Keep You Car Well Maintained!
Keep your car tuned. Tuning your car keeps your car running efficiently as possible. You also want to make sure that your tires are properly inflated, aligned, and balanced. You also want to routinely change your oil as well as check the air filter on your vehicle. Keeping your car in proper condition will ensure better gas mileage.
Purchasing Gas!
At
the pump make sure you are purchasing the correct octane for your
vehicle. You can find out the correct octane in the owner's manual for
your specific vehicle. Don't purchase the highest grade octane, usually
it is a waste of money unless your car is not properly running or
misfiring.
Consider A Hybrid or Alternative Fuel Vehicle!
If you really want to improve your fuel economy it is suggested that you purchase a alternative fuel vehicle or hybrid.
