Get The Best Fuel Economy This Summer

Posted: 01 Mar 2011 06:30 AM PST

Fuel Gauge Summer will soon be upon us and that means vacation time, weekend road trips, and plenty of driving. Before you hit the road, check out these fuel saving tips:

  • Avoid high speeds/use cruise control.
  • Avoid jackrabbit starts and sudden stops.
  • Remove excess weight from the trunk — extra weight decreases gas mileage.
  • Keep your tires properly inflated.
  • Use overdrive gears if you have them.
  • Use your air conditioner sparingly.
  • Check and replace air filters regularly.
  • Get a tune-up and change your oil regularly and right before a long trip.
  • Use gasoline formulated to give better mileage
