With gas prices sky high most individuals who drive are
interested in ways they can make their car more fuel efficient
and save as much money as possible. While there are no fuel
saving tips that will keep your car full of gas without
filling up, there are some tips that really can help you save
money on fuel over the long run. All of these tips focus on
making your car more fuel efficient.
Fuel Efficiency Tip #1 Drive When You Crank Up
This might seem obvious, but as soon as you crank up your car
you should drive off. However, many people crank up and leave
the car idling for a while. Instead of this, when you crank up
drive off and only keep your car running when it is absolutely
necessary.
Fuel Efficiency Tip #2 Don’t Ride the Break
Many drivers hit the break more often than is necessary.
Additionally there are quite a few drivers that slow down for
a braking car when they could easily switch lanes. Not riding
the break can increase your fuel efficiency by up to 30%, so
this is a great tip you should follow.
Fuel Efficiency Tip #3 Turn Off Your Car
If you are going to be stopping for more than 10 minutes you
should switch off your car to keep fuel efficiency at its peak
and not burn more gas than is necessary.
Fuel Efficiency Tip #4 Don’t Turn Off Your Car
If you are only stopping for a brief moment or less than 5
minutes then don’t turn off your car because the amount of gas
used to crank up is more than you would burn in that short
period of time.
Fuel Efficiency Tip #5 Inflate Tires Properly
Too many drivers never think of their tires, unless one goes
flat. However, having tires that are properly inflated can
save fuel and make your car more fuel efficient, saving you
money. Because of this, you should check your tire pressure on
a regular basis.
