- Have your car tuned regularly. An engine tune-up can improve car fuel economy by an average of 1 mile per gallon.
- Keep your tires properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel economy by up to 1 mile per gallon.
- Slow down. The faster you drive, the more gasoline your car uses. Driving at 65 miles per hour rather than 55 miles per hour reduces fuel economy by about 2 miles per gallon.
- Avoid jackrabbit starts. Abrupt starts require about twice as much gasoline as gradual starts.
- Pace your driving. Unnecessary speedups, slowdowns and stops can decrease fuel economy by up to 2 miles per gallon.
- Use your air conditioner sparingly. The use of air conditioning can reduce fuel economy by as much as 2 miles per gallon.
- Avoid lengthy engine idling. Turn your engine off when you are delayed for more than a couple of minutes.
- Plan your trips carefully. Combine short trips into one to do all your errands. Avoid traveling during rush hours if possible, to reduce fuel-consumption patterns such as starting and stopping and numerous idling periods. Consider joining a car pool.
I have found a way that will make your car 40% more fuel efficient and healthy-er to the environment.
Run your car on water..... No seriously! Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen. I've found a company than can show you how to easily turn water into a gas called Hydroxy (or Brown Gas). Mixed in with regular fuel can help cut the cost of running your car dramatically, pretty much doubling your mileage. I'd recommend having a look at this website for more details
Well that's it for me for now. I hope this has helped.
