Default Money! Money! Save your fuel in 11 easier way! - 12-14-2006 , 11:21 PM






Are you one over those billions and billions of automobile users, who
is tire and sicked of the HIGH gasoline cost? Here are FREE tips to use
your fuel efficiently. And some of them are very simple.


(1) Drive Sensibly!
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes
gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and
by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and
others, so you may save more than gas money.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 5-33%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.12-$0.76/Gallon

(2) Observe the Speed Limit !
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different
speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at
speeds above 96 km per hour. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that
each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per
gallon for gas. Observing the speed limit is also safer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-33%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.16-$0.53/Gallon

(3) Remove Excess Weight!
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones.
An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%.
The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to
the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger
ones.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.02-$0.05/Gallon

(4) Avoid Excessive Idling!
Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically
waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.

(5) Cruise Control put it on
Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed
and, in most cases, will save gas.

(6) Use Overdrive Gears!
When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This
saves gas and reduces engine wear.

(7) Keep your engine properly tuned!
Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions
test can improve its gas mileage by an average ofercent, though results
vary based on the kind of repair and how well it is done.
Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor,
can improve your mileage by as much as 40 percent.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 4%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.09/Gallon

(8) Check & Replace Air Filters Regularly!
Replacing a clogged air filter can improve your car's gas mileage by as
much as 10 percent. Your car's air filter keeps impurities from
damaging the inside of your engine. Not only will replacing a dirty air
filter save gas, it will protect your engine.
Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 10%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: $0.23/Gallon

(9) Keep Tires Properly Inflated!
You can improve your gas mileage by around 3.3 percent by keeping your
tires inflated to the proper pressure. Under-inflated tires can lower
gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four
tires. Properly inflated tires are safer and last longer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 3%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.07/Gallon

(10) Keep it Light!
Your roof rack or carrier provides additional cargo space and may allow
you to meet your needs with a smaller car. However, a loaded roof rack
can decrease your fuel economy by 5 percent. Reduce aerodynamic drag
and improve your fuel economy by placing items inside the trunk
whenever possible.
Avoid carrying unneeded items, especially heavy ones. An extra 100 lbs
in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by 1-2 percent.
Fuel Economy Benefit: up to 3%
Equivalent Gasoline Savings: up to $0.07/Gallon
