GAS SAVING TIPS
Driving habits may effect fuel costs
Most of us can not
afford to purchase a new car in order to get better gas mileage.
The following gas saving tips can help you with your gas mileage
and hopefully
spare the pocketbook.
Regulated speeds
help to save on gas mileage. Do the speed limit and keep your
speed
consistent. Speeding and aggressive braking lowers gas mileage
by around 5 percent
when driving city speeds and up to 33 percent at highway speeds.
And for every 5 mph
you drive over 60 mph, you reduce gas mileage by 10 percent. Using
your cruise
control can also save gas since it regulates your speed. Driving
more sensibly can
save you 5%-33% on your gasoline costs.
Get ride of the junk in the trunk. The extra weight can cost you
in fuel and
reduce your mileage, not to mention slow you down.
Keeping your car
properly maintained can improve your gas mileage as much as 19%.
Visit Daniels Auto Care and talk with one of our ASE certified
mechanics to check if
your car is properly in tune and that there are no major mechanical
problems
detracting from your gas mileage.
The most important
mileage savings comes from keeping your tires properly inflated.
Use a tire gauge regularly to ensure proper pressure.
Break bad driving
habits. Using air-conditioners unnecessarily or idling the
engine needlessly can cost you.
Check your car's
air filter. The air filter helps to prevent impurities from damaging
a car's engine. Checking and possibly replacing the air filter
may improve your
car's gas mileage by as much as 10 percent.
