Or, the other way to look at it, would be that you can increase your gas mileage by 20%. Sounds far fetched? Not really. It is more possible than ever these days.

The first thing you can do right now, today, is to slow down. Do not accelerate so fast from a resting, or idle, position. Just a gradual increase help tremendously.

Before you get in your car today, go tighten the gas cap. A loose gas cap allows too much oxygen in the system, which will leave some extra gas behind after the combustion takes place to run the engine. This is wasted gas.

An area many people neglect their cars is the air pressure in the tires. This is a real simple tip you can do. Just stop by a local service station, and fill up your tires to the pressure rating listed on the side of the tires. Not only does this save gas, but it als makes the car handle much better.

The most uninformed habit out there by millions is buying super unleaded fuel. There is no need in this. I really don't care what the car manuals tell you, your car runs just as efficiently on regular unleaded as it does super unleaded. This change alone will save you 5-6% in gas.
