Getting excellent fuel economy can save you money, protect the environment and reduce your reliance on foreign oil. Here are some fantastic tips to get the most out of every fill-up:
1. Make sure your tires are inflated to their proper pressure. This will improve handling, safety, and fuel economy. Check your tire pressure at least once a month and adjust as needed.
2. To maximize fuel efficiency, slowly ease away from stoplights and other start-up points, and allow your car to reach its speed steadily.
3. Avoid carrying unnecessary weight in your car, excess weight reduces gas mileage by decreasing acceleration efficiency and aerodynamics.
4. Keep windows closed while driving at highway speeds, aerodynamic drag increases with open windows.
5. Use your cruise control when driving on the highway. Cruising in your car is easier than ever when cruise control is activated, as it keeps a consistent speed and ensures that your vehicle runs more efficiently.
