Cars With Good Gas Mileage Will Save You A Lot Of Dough In The Long Run
Seriously, do you remember what you did the first time you drove by the gas station and saw that it said $4 for a gallon of gas? I know I started to search for the closest public transportation. But really, it did make me think about fuel for the first time in my life.
Ever since, sales of hybrids and smaller vehicles have been on the rise. Saving money at the pump may be out of your control, but there are things you can do on your end to make sure your get the most value out of every gallon of gas.
#1 Air is your engines friend -- Not only do you need gas to run your car, it needs air as well. Those are two of the components needed to run a internal combustion engine.(The other is a spark) Keep the filter clean and you may be able to save 10% on your fuel efficiency. This is one of the few things you can still do yourself.
#2 If you drive like you are suppose to, you will save -- Most of us hit the gas pedal too hard and ride the gas pedal too much. These are both kills as far as efficient driving goes. Take it easy on both and see your mileage increase 5-10%.
#3 Stick to posted highway speeds -- Driving at the posted speed limit my not be fun and exciting but, it will definitely help with your fuel consumption. Use the cruise control when possible. The more consistent you keep your speed the less gas you will use.
#4 You have got to get to your mechanic -- Your car will flat out last longer if you get the scheduled services. Not only that, it will be as fuel efficient as it possible can, so do yourself a favor and see your local mechanic a couple of times a year. I can hear you groaning now.
#5 Turn off the Air Conditioner -- While many newer cars have air conditioners that will recycle airs automatically through the cabins when it reaches a certain temperature, older vehicles will just continue pumping it out, wasting energy and fuel. If you can do with out it, do with out it.
We all could use the extra dough, so try a few of these things out. They really can help if you just give them a shot. - 21396
