[h=2]Drive Sensibly[/h] Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.




[h=2]Remove Excess Weight[/h] An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2 percent.




[h=2]Avoid Excessive Idling[/h] Idling can use a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour, depending on engine size and air conditioner (AC) use.





[h=2]Use Cruise Control[/h] Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.




[h=2]Use Overdrive Gears[/h] When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This saves gas and reduces engine wear.
