I have a V6 engine on my car, anyone have any gas saving tips?

Make sure your tires are properly inflated

Make sure you get regular oil changes

Make sure your car is properly aligned.

drive with your windows up on the freeway to reduce air resistance.

use the cruise control whenever you can to avoid speeding up and slowing down a lot

don’t accelerate hard

Coast to a stop slowly whenever you can

the biggest thing you can do is drive slower. The average car will get 4 mpg better at 60mph then at 70mph, which is roughly equivalent to saving 50 cents per gallon on gas.

Walk.

get a smaller engine with a turbocharger,

look for a cold air intake, though this might cost around $100 or more depending on what car you have?
Just ride a bike!

Make sure your tires are inflated well, keeping your speed around 55 mph. If you will be idle for longer then 3 minutes shut the engine off!
Good luck!

drive with a full tank of gas always and drive a little slower when you drive and try to make more right turns then left turns

Make sure your tires are inflated well, you can find the air pressure info on left side rear door
maintain it, oil changes, service etc.
Tune up ,it may cost 3 big bills, but new plugs and airfiter will save u 100s in gas and better performance
and most important is drive average speed.
keeping all windows closed and have AC on will burn less gas then with open windows.
make sure O/I is ON

Gas saving tips abound, and they all work. But none as good as swapping it for a smaller car. I know you Americanos like big. But it comes at a price. Go for a four cylinder japanese car. Honda, Toyota or similar. You’ll have so much spare money you won’t know what to do with it.

just don’t drive so fast, but if u like v6 power get a honda nissan or toyota they all have v6, engines that get good mpg

Swap it out with a straight 6, if you can. Its more efficient.

Otherwise, get a better car. It will be more practical. Not all practical cars are “no fun” just shop around.

good luck!!

There are lots of things you can do.

1. Inflate your tires to the maximum pressure that is allowed (look on the sidewall of the tire).

2. Use a good high quality oil, by that I mean a fully synthetic oil. Depending on the driving you do, do not change it at 3k miles, I would do 5k–10k mile oil changes. ONLY IF YOU USE A HIGH QUALITY SYNTHETIC OIL. Regular (non-synthetic) oil typically lasts 3k-5k miles.

3. Drive slower, usually 55-60 MPH will get you the best economy. This is based from the car’s gearing and the drag coefficient. Drag is the biggest factor. The faster you drive the more drag (wind) you have holding your car back.

4. Make sure the car has been tuned up and is in good running order, spark plugs, clean air filter, good EGR, etc.

5. Others mentioned getting a cold air intake or aftermarket parts, while these may or may not increase your MPG, they cost money and you will not make up the difference in the cost of the part with a savings in fuel economy in a short time, it will take YEARS.

6. Drive smart, don’t take off fast, drive a little slower, use the tallest gear you can without stalling the motor if it is a manual, if it is an auto don’t worry. Look ahead, if there is a stop sign or light then instead of using the accelerator, maybe you can let off and coast or roll to the light, thus saving your brakes and not actually using fuel to speed up to a place where you will have to stop. Obviously be safe about this and don’t hold traffic up too much.

7. Use the proper rated fuel for your vehicle. If it takes regular unleaded use the lowest octane fuel. You will not get any more mileage by using a higher octane it will actually probably give you less mileage, cost more. If the vehicle does call for premium I would use it. I had a vehicle that called for premium and it ran worse if you didn’t use it and got worse economy, it paid for itself to use the proper fuel.

8. Take the extra junk out of your car. The extra weight reduces fuel economy, get rid of what you don’t need in there.

9. Run the smallest wheel/tire you can. Many cars are putting huge wheels on them because of the look it provides, this can reduce fuel economy as much as 3-5 MPG. On top of that look for a low rolling resistant tire. This means it has less resistance as it rolls, less friction. Yes they do not provide sports car grip, but we want mileage not tons of grip, as long as you drive normal will will not make the car any less safe.
