1. Go the speed limit. Use cruise
control.
Speed limits are calculated for maximum safety ? they'll also reward
you with maximum gas mileage. You can get up to 20 percent more mileage
traveling 55 mph than 70 mph. Using cruise control provides additional gas
savings.
2. Drive evenly. Avoid hard
stops.
Quick starts burn gas while hard stops also cost you. Take your foot
off the accelerator and coast a bit before stopping for a traffic light or a
stop sign.
3. Avoid idling and rush hour
traffic.
You're burning fuel while idling ? up to a gallon every hour. So,
avoid rush hour traffic when possible.
4. Open windows at slow speeds. Use
A/C on highways.
Around town, turn your air conditioning off and roll down
the windows. On the highway, open windows create drag at speeds of 40 mph or
more, so roll them up and use the air.
5. Remove junk from the
trunk.
Added weight in your vehicle affects fuel economy, so take unnecessary
items out of your trunk.
6. Fill up when it's cool and before
holidays.
Cooler temperatures in the early morning or late evening create
less vapor. Also, getting a fill-up three days before a holiday will help you
save on the per-gallon price at the pump.
7. Don't top off gas and tighten the
cap.
When buying gas, stop when the pump shuts off automatically. And
remember, your tank needs both fuel and fumes, so tighten the gas cap after
every fill-up.
8. Use the correct fuel
grade.
Use the fuel grade recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. In
addition, TOP TIER Detergent Gasoline is even better for your vehicle. It is a
class of gasoline with enhanced detergency, that exceed detergent requirements
imposed by the EPA. It meets voluntary deposit control standards developed by
four automotive companies, including General Motors.
9. Don't accelerate up
hill.
Build up speed before an incline, and then maintain it on the way up.
Coast on the way down for additional fuel economy.
10. Avoid rooftop
carriers.
Approximately one quarter of each gallon of gas is needed to
overcome wind resistance, so avoid carrying things on your roof. If necessary,
use an aerodynamic carrier to help minimize drag.
