\nAs your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph (100 km\/h) vs 75 mph (120 km\/h) will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%.<\/span>
\n2.Do Not Accelerate or Brake Hard<\/span>
\nBy anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%.<\/span>
\n3.Keep Tires Properly Inflated<\/span>
\nKeep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%.<\/span>
\n4.Use A\/C Sparingly<\/span>
\nWhen the air conditioner is on it puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used (by about 20%). The defrost position on most vehicles also uses the air conditioner.<\/span>
\n5.Keep Windows Closed<\/span>
\nWindows open, especially at highway speeds, increase drag and result in decreased fuel economy of up to 10%.<\/span>
\n6.Service Vehicle Regularly<\/span>
\nProper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels.<\/span>
\n7.Use Cruise Control<\/span>
\nMaintaining a constant speed over long distances often saves gas.<\/span>
\n8.Avoid Heavy Loads<\/span>
\nRemove the sand bags from your trunk in the spring and pack lightly for long trips.<\/span>
\n9.Avoid Long Idles<\/span>
\nIf you anticipate being stopped for more than 1 minute, shut off the car. Restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle for this time.<\/span>
\n10.Purchase a Fuel Efficient Vehicle<\/span>
\nWhen buying a new vehicle examine the vehicle’s rated fuel efficiency. Usually choosing a small vehicle with a manual transmission will provide you with great fuel economy.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
