Plan ahead

To avoid traffic jams and excessive stop-and-start driving, plan ahead, learn the traffic patterns for the times of day that you normally drive and change routes accordingly. Sometimes it may even be more fuel efficient to drive a bit further, instead of getting stuck in rush hour traffic with excessive idling, braking and acceleration. You can also experiment with driving a bit earlier, or later – sometimes 20 minutes either way can make a world of difference in the amount of traffic on the road. Many radio stations and GPS services also offer handy up-to-the minute traffic news and advice that can save you some gas (not to mention, frustration!).
