Most of the advice is unproven and myth, here are proven ways to actually conserve gas.
Make sure your tires are properly inflated for starters. Besides posing a safety hazard, underinflated tires can reduce your fuel economy slightly, based on Edmunds.com’s 2005 study.
Removing excess weight from your car can also help save you gas. The Department of Energy estimates that drivers can save anywhere between 3 and 6 cents a gallon (assuming gas prices of $2.97 a gallon) just by removing those golf clubs and other unnecessary weight from your trunk.
If your car comes equipped with cruise control, make sure you use it, especially on long trips. Edmunds.com’s study revealed that using cruise control at highway speeds offered an average fuel economy savings of 7 percent.
But the biggest fuel saver is driving the speed limit and driving sensibly. Rapid starts and stops and exceeding the speed limit will dent your pocketbook. Just by adhering to one of those, the Department of Energy estimates that drivers can save anywhere between 15 and 98 cents a gallon, again assuming pump prices are at $2.97 a gallon.
take a gray hound buss.borrow a friends car that gets great gas mileage. don’t tailgate trucks as you have to be like 10 feet
or closer to get any benefit plus its illegal and will make most truck drivers very nervous and or mad at you.Using cruse control is fine when driving thru places where its not moving the gas pedal very much. the waist of gas occurs every time you move the gas pedal down farther from wherever its sitting so try and drive with minimal movement
and driving at lower speeds save lots of gas ie drive 50 mph instead of 70 and save about 25% on fuel bills
