10 ways to conserve your gas (In no necessary order)
- Don’t stop and start your engine, if your going to crank it back within the next minute. Idling your engine for one minute consumes the gas amount equivalent to when you start the engine.
- Never fill your gas tank past the first click. This results in over-filling, which causes the gas to slosh around and usually out of the spout.
- OBEY THE SPEED LIMIT! Traveling 65 – 70 mph in a 55 mph zone uses up to 21% more fuel.
- Drive steadily. Frequent increases or decreases in speed cause, waste fuel. When approaching hills, accelerate before going up the hill, not while your on it.
- Avoid rough roads, dirt and gravel are very inefficient and could cost you up to 30% of your gas mileage.
- Stoplights are typically times for efficient driving. When traveling from one to the next, use the posted speed limit. This way, you are more likely to reach each light while it is green.
- Proper maintenance to your vehicle is key. A dirty air filter and low tire pressure can cut your fuel mileage by 5 – 10 mpg.
- Remove excess weight from trunk or storage area. Toting extra weight up hills and through stoplights cause more strain on your motor.
- During cold weather watch for icicles frozen to car frame. Unremoved snow/ice cause wind resistance while driving.
- Avoid quick acceleration. Your car consumes more gas acclerating than at any other time. Also, try to maintain a set speed while traveling on the highway. If traffic is ocassionaly slowing down or stoping at lights, keep enough distince between them, so you don’t have to stop, or slow and accelerate.
With these practical steps, anyone can improve fuel mileage.
