Use Your Cruise
Cruise control on highways helps you maintain a smooth and constant speed, which can translate to gas savings.
Rush-Hour Blues
Stopping and starting is bad for your gas mileage, so try commuting at less busy times of the day.
Double Up
Combining short trips means you aren’t starting cold, which uses twice as much fuel as making more stops with a warm engine.
Feel The Breeze:
Using the air-conditioner can cost you 10 to 20 percent in fuel economy. But if you’re on the highway, roll the windows up for fuel efficiency.
Shade Aid
Parking out of direct sunlight means less chance of evaporation from your gas tank.
Top-Less
Topping off just offers a greater chance for gas to slosh off or spill.
No Escape
A tight gas cap eliminates the chances of evaporation. The Car Care Council says loose, missing or damaged gas caps cause 147 million gallons of gas to evaporate each year.
Just Go
Modern vehicles don’t need to warm up. You’re just wasting gas idling.
