7 Tips for Better Fuel Efficiency
Go even kilter on the gas pedals to avoid burning excess fuel.
Avoid long idles. Turning off your car and restarting it actually burns less oil than sitting in an idle state.
Drive the speed limit because the faster you go, the more fuel you will burn.
Get rid of heavy weight in your car. The heavier your car weighs the more gas it will burn.
To stay even on your speed and thus reduce your gas consumption, use cruise control when possible.
Make sure tires are fully inflated and aligned and you’ll save on gas.
Keeping your car tuned also helps with overall efficiency
