Cheap Gas & Fuel Efficiency

Driving habits that save fuel

• Accelerate gently and coast to stops — aggressive driving can noticeably lower your gas mileage.
• Slow down on the highway. Mileage usually drops at higher speeds.
• Keep tires inflated to the pressure on the sticker inside your driver’s door.
• Take extra weight and roof racks off when you don’t need them.
• Combine errands into one trip — a warm engine is more efficient than a cold one.
• Don’t idle for long stretches. Modern cars don’t need much “warm up” time.
• Use cruise control on flat highways.
• Use the grade of gas your owner’s manual recommends — premium rarely helps cars that don’t require it.
• Keep up with oil changes and air filters to keep your engine running efficiently.
