Read Driving Articles To Learn How To Save Gasoline
Anyone who has been driving lately knows that gasoline prices are on the rise again. With the current economic conditions, many people need to find ways to save gasoline. Many driving articles teach drivers just how to save gasoline.
Looking on the internet or in automobile magazines allows us to find many driving articles that help us to save fuel. There are many tips available. Some are not new, others are even wrong. However, by using a few of these tips and keeping record of our own gasoline mileage, we may find a way to increase our fuel economy. While not everyone will reach the 30 percent claimed in some driving articles, we may significantly increase the gasoline mileage of our vehicle.
The first tip you will find in many articles is to slow down. The articles speak of a sweet spot for each vehicle. You may need to experiment and keep records in order to find the combination that gives your vehicle the best mileage.
Another tip found in the driving articles will remind you to avoid jackrabbit starts and stops to increase your mileage. One article goes so far as to suggest never pressing the accelerator pedal more than one inch. Braking too quickly also will cause the vehicle to use more fuel.
Driving articles suggest that you use your cruise control in order to save fuel. Modern cruise controls are tied to your car's computer and help to save gasoline by keeping you from constantly accelerating and decelerating. They also help to avoid the tendency to develop a lead foot over time when driving long trips.
Driving articles will also suggest that you avoid idling you vehicle for over 30 seconds. Modern gasoline engines do not require a warm up time so starting early is not necessary except when needing to have the heat to defrost vehicles that are parked outside overnight. Parking in a garage or carport will avoid this problem. Parking in the shade will also avoid the extra air-conditioning needed to cool a car overheated by the sun.
Other tips you will find in driving articles include avoiding topping off you fuel tank. Topping off forces fuel into vapor recovery units and may cause damage to your vehicle. Fueling your vehicle at one quarter tank will avoid damage to your fuel pump.
Do not store excess gear in the vehicle as the additional weight will decrease the miles per gallon of gasoline. Take everything out of the trunk or storage area each time you park you vehicle at home.
While you may not choose to use all of these tips found in driving articles, you may choose to use some and to increase your gas mileage. Every gallon saved means that the price of gasoline will drop due to a lower demand on our limited supply of this very needed natural resource. If we work together, we may not only increase our fuel savings by increasing our gasoline mileage, but also by lowering the price of fuel. - 21396
