The quest to fight high gas prices has left many of us searching for ways to squeeze a few more miles out of a gallon of gas. I did find some interesting facts as you'll see below.
Stay in tune, vehicle maintance is probably the most important step to reducing gas intake there is. A dirty Air Filter reduces gas mileage by 10%.
Inflate all tires to the manufacturer’s recommendations for your vehicle; rolling resistance created by low tire pressure can reduce mileage by as much as 25%.
Your vehicle’s Air Conditioner can reduce fuel economy by 10 to 25%.
Keep it off at all costs. Consider purchasing window film to keep your inside temperature low.
After filling up, be sure the gas cap clicks 3 times. Improperly seated gas caps allows
147 million gallons of fuel to vaporize per year.
Change to synthetic oil and improve gas mileage as your engine friction is improved.
Remove all excess weight, whether from your trunk or even snow and ice in winter times.
Traveling at 55 mph produces up to 21% better gas mileage when compared to 65-70 mph.
Purchase a Gas Rebate Credit Card. I like the Discover Open Road Card which has a 5%
Cashback Bonus. What ever Gas Card you decide to use, pay it off monthly for better savings.
Turn off your engine if you are stopping for more than 30 seconds. Restarting your car takes less gasoline than idling.
