Ways You Can Save On Gas

  • You can get up to 20 percent more mileage traveling 55 mph than 70 mph.
  • Use cruise control and you will also recieve gas savings.
  • Quick starts burn gas and hard stops also cost you.
  • Around town, turn your air conditioning off and roll down the windows.
  • On the highway, open windows creates drag at speeds of 40 mph or more, so roll them up and use the air.
  • Added weight in your vehicle also affects fuel economy, so take unnecessary items out of your trunk.
  • Build up speed before an incline, and then maintain it on the way up. Coast on the way down for additional fuel economy.
