&#8216;pedal to the metal&#8217; will waste gas because the faster you accelerate, the more fuel you waste. Show a little TLC while you accelerate to help you save gas. While driving in the city, you can save fuel by stepping on the accelerator pedal gently. To be as fuel-efficient as possible, accelerate your vehicle from a stop to 15 miles\/hour in 5 seconds. Imagine you have a cup of coffee on your dashboard. Accelerate in such a way that it does not spill. Lose your lead foot and save 10%-40% on gas mileage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Decelerate_gently\"><\/span>Decelerate gently<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You lose forward momentum every time you slam your brakes. Look around to see how traffic is behaving. You can often see when it&#8217;s time to slow down well in advance. You will save fuel and money by taking your foot off the throttle and cruising to slow down instead of slamming your brakes hard.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_jackrabbiting_at_stops\"><\/span>Avoid jackrabbiting at stops<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Take your foot off the accelerator when you come to a stop at a light or in traffic. Actually, this is driving 101 &#8211; something you should have learned during your driving lessons. When the light turns green or the traffic begins to move, begin driving smoothly and gently.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_idle_for_long\"><\/span>Don&#8217;t idle for long<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a popular misconception that sitting in your parked car does not expend gas. Newsflash &#8211; it does! The fuel consumption is lower than driving, but it still consumes gas. If you&#8217;re going to be parked for more than just a couple of minutes, turn off the engine.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maintain_a_steady_speed\"><\/span>Maintain a steady speed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t maintain a consistent driving speed, you&#8217;ll use more fuel if your speed dips and surges. This increases the wear and tear on your vehicle significantly. Accelerating suddenly may be exciting, but this is also when your car consumes the most fuel. So, unless it&#8217;s an emergency, there&#8217;s no harm in taking a little extra time to drive more carefully. Both your car and your wallet will welcome it.<\/p>\n<p>Rapid acceleration is accompanied by rapid braking \u2014 the faster you slow down, the more speed you lose and must make up once cruising speed is regained. There&#8217;s no point in speeding up to a red light. If it turns green before you stop, you&#8217;ll lose momentum. This means the more speed you&#8217;ll have to make up, and thus more gas will be consumed.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_braking_and_stopping_unnecessarily\"><\/span>Avoid braking and stopping unnecessarily<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Building on some of our previous points, braking suddenly is one of the more damaging factors to your mileage. That&#8217;s because it only results in more acceleration on the other end. Complete stops should be avoided unless absolutely necessary; compared to cruising speeds, it takes a tremendous amount of energy to bring a 3,000-plus-pound vehicle to a complete stop.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that coasting is your friend, especially in traffic. There&#8217;s no point in getting right on the bumper of the car in front of you if you&#8217;re not going to get any further ahead. Maintaining a slow speed will be better for your fuel economy and your car&#8217;s components. It may also help keep traffic moving more consistently than a stop-start-stop pattern.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Avoid_speeding\"><\/span>Avoid speeding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As we&#8217;ve been reiterating, speeding will not improve your mileage. Maintaining a constant speed that isn&#8217;t too fast (but isn&#8217;t too slow) will allow the car to function at an optimum level, requiring less effort to maintain speed. As the car accelerates, the air resistance increases, requiring the engine to expend more power \u2014 and thus more fuel \u2014 to overcome it. The generally accepted happy medium speed is around 55 miles per hour, slightly slower than most highway speeds.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Use_cruise_control_wherever_possible\"><\/span>Use cruise control wherever possible<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using cruise control when you drive on the highway will help maintain a constant speed and is a great way to save gas. Having your car on cruise control will reduce the number of times your vehicle slows and accelerates on the highway.<\/p>\n<p>So if you&#8217;re mainly driving on level surfaces, use the cruise control to save gas. However, if you&#8217;re driving through a road with many ups and downs, you should maintain an average speed. Let your car slow down (5 to 10 mph) when climbing and then gain a similar speed on the descent.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_an_eye_on_your_tires\"><\/span>Keep an eye on your tires<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s common knowledge that keeping your tires properly inflated within a few pounds of the maximum rating is critical for safety, but it also helps save fuel. The car has to work harder to move forward when the tires are low on air because the rolling resistance increases. While it may not seem like significant savings when multiplied by four tires and miles, the savings can certainly be worthwhile.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also important to remember that changes in external pressure affect the air pressure inside your tire. Cooler air causes the pounds per square inch in the tire to drop, so it&#8217;s imperative to keep an eye on your tire pressure as the weather cools.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_track_of_your_fuel_consumption\"><\/span>Keep track of your fuel consumption<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Keep track of when you refuel and how long it takes between trips to the gas station. Make an effort to fill up your tank less frequently and space out your visits to the service station.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_skip_regular_maintenance_checks\"><\/span>Don\u2019t skip regular maintenance checks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Servicing your vehicle regularly is beneficial to both your engine and your fuel efficiency. When all of your engine&#8217;s components function properly, your car will run more smoothly. When your car runs smoothly, it consumes less gas. Use a car maintenance checklist to make sure your car is in ship shape.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lose_the_excess_weight\"><\/span>Lose the excess weight<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You might wonder if such a minor fix can help you save gas and be more fuel-efficient; it can! Simply because less weight inside your vehicle means better fuel efficiency. Removing unnecessary weight means the vehicle has to do less work to move forward, resulting in better gas mileage.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Turn_off_that_AC\"><\/span>Turn off that AC<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The use of air conditioning consumes gas. If you can get by without it in mild weather, even if you open the windows, you will save money. However, once it gets hot, turning on the air conditioning to cool the cabin and reduce humidity is a prudent choice for your comfort and ability to stay alert while driving.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Dont_bother_with_premium_gas\"><\/span>Don\u2019t bother with premium gas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You can save money by not purchasing premium gas. Buy premium only if it is absolutely required. Your gas tank door will indicate what type of gas is needed. Many vehicles list premium as recommended. This implies that it is optional. If only midgrade or premium fuel is available, this will work fine in a vehicle designed for regular gasoline.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fill_up_on_the_good_gas\"><\/span>Fill up on the good gas<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Top Tier gas is worth spending on. It is held to a higher standard due to the voluntary participation of numerous gas station brands, including Chevron, Mobil, and Shell. Be aware that many well-known brands do not offer Top Tier gas. The gas contains detergent additives that help engines run more smoothly and efficiently. According to a AAA study, Top Tier gas has a cleansing effect on vehicles that use it, with intake valve deposit buildup reduced by up to 72% over the course of 5,000 miles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gas prices have reached an all-time high, and everyone&#8217;s feeling the pinch.
