As the summer kicks in and the prices of gas goes up it's the perfect time to remember a few gas saving tips. If you travel from Manhattan to Boston it's about 225 miles. Take a car that gets around 25MPG and you got yourself using 9 gallons of fuel. At $4 bucks a gallon gasprices.mapquest.com, you'll be spending $36 in fuel.
How could you insure you're getting the best in gas mileage?
#1. Just slow down (lower RPM's = higher MPG)
#2. Keep the tires properly inflated (duh)
#3. Go easy when you accelerate (you're not in a race)
#4. Hang with the big rigs (they don't stop and go as much)
#5. Clean out your car (toss out that trash and weight less)
It's just the little things that can add another 20% to your fuel efficiency. The bottom line, keep your car's maintenance current and don't drive like a damn race car driver. Your money clip will be thanking you later.
