6 Tips to improve your Gas Mileage!

Here are 6 tips to help you reduce the amount of gas you use. If you are already following these tips, you are probably getting the best gas mileage your car can deliver.

1: Aggressive Driving:

Speeding, rapid acceleration and braking wastes gas like you wouldn’t believe. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.

2: Follow the Speed Limit:

While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. You can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas.

3: Remove Excess Weight:

Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.

4: Avoid Excessive Idling:

Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.

5: Use Cruise Control:

Using cruise control on the highway is not only convenient, it automatically eliminates unnecessary acceleration and speeds in your vehicle and helps you maintain a constant speed thus saving you precious gas.

6: Use Overdrive Gears:

When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear. So make sure you’re using the highest gear possible at highway speeds.
