Are You Ready To Conserve Gas and
Save Money? Here are some tips to save as much as 37% right away:
-
Keep you tires properly inflated. This saves as much as 15%.
-
Keep your car engine tuned up. A badly tuned car can INCREASE
gas mileage usage by 20%.
-
Today's engines do not need to "warm up" before driving off.
Start your car and drive off.
-
Don't let your car idle except at stop signs and traffic signals
(Hybrids shutdown automatically). If you're stopping for more than
30 seconds (yes, the day of the Drive-Thru is over!), turn off your
engine.
-
Accelerate and decelerate smoothly. Cruise control saves gas -
except - in hilly and mountainous areas.
-
Drive 55 MPH instead of 65 MPH. You use 7% MORE gas when you
drive over 60 MPH.
