Fuel :(

As your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph (100 km/h) vs 75 mph (120 km/h) will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%.
Windows open, especially at highway speeds, increase drag and result in decreased fuel economy of up to 10%.
By anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%.
Keep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%.
Proper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels.
Maintaining a constant speed over long distances often saves gas.
Useful tips....When gas price is so high
ReplyDeleteThe way it is going..I may need to get a part time job just so that I can pay my gas dues :)
