Seems as though there are more people doing about 55-60 in the slow lane and 65 in the middle lane on the highway around me in CT. (Speed limit 65 on most highway roads)
You still have the speeding jerks…but drivers have slowed down a bit in response to some of the suggestions on how to stretch that gallon further. Is it me or do you see this also!!! Thanks…. Sammyleggs
What state are you driving in?
The speeders are those passing threw Arkansas.
You must be one of the speeders Pyar!
Really take notice!!!
Freespirit….I hope the slower driving calms the beast in all of us and saves lives…I’m waiting for the statistics to come out in a few months that someone relates slowing down to fewer fatalities!!!
INCREASE gas prices….Not good for the pocketbook but good to people.
Joel…my time is precious too!
I can afford the prices without straining my pocketbook, but maybe those that have a hardship are taking it to heart..so what is your hurry? Are you trying to beat everyone to the gas pump and increase the carbon footprint you are leaving?

I drive a 1986 Lincoln Town Car. I’ve had lots of work done on it such as tune ups, brake work, engine work etc. As you already know I do not have a lot of money to waste especially not on gas. I have no idea how many miles my vehicle gets to the gallon. How would I find out that information. Finally with the continously rising gas prices in full swing what are some things that I can do to save gas. THANKS!!

By not wasting the first few gallons. Drive easy, not hard. Coast if you can and avoid unneccesary stops and braking.

Should the government increase taxes as a means of conserving energy?

I work from home, but I only use my car every other day. I sometimes walk to the grocery store which is a mile away.
I also set the cruise control in my Ford Focus on the highway and leave it there. I go about 60 mph, but I still see people blowing by me, going 80 mph in a 65 mph zone (which is not only a stupid waste of gas, it’s also risking a ticket).
I still see people speeding up to get to a stop light 100 feet ahead. I had one guy cut me off the other day to do this. He was driving about 5-10 mph faster than me as we were driving through city traffic. 5 blocks (5 miles) later, I was still even with him and honked/smiled at him as I passed by while he was preparing to make a left turn. He knew why I was smiling.
Why aren’t Americans driving slower to increase their gas mileage? Why do people always feel they need to be going 10 mph faster than the next person? What’s an extra 10 mph of speed gonna get you unless you’re driving from Anchorage to Miami?

I need some information on how to use as little gas as possible. Where I live and work, I NEED to drive, so quitting driving is not an option, and neither is carpooling it. I just need to know some good personal or professional tips on using as little gas as possible when I’m driving. Already, I put my car into neutral when I’m slowing to a stop sign or light, or whenever I will be coming to a complete stop I throw it in neutral to lower the RPMs and hopefully make it easier on my engine instead of slamming on the brakes. I also drive slowly and start up slowly whenever I drive. I avoid using my heating or air conditioning too unless I REALLY need it, and I save my batteries by turning down all the lights in my car and everything. What else can I do to make my car better on gas? The air filter is clean too, I just checked it yesterday, lol

Wow – “President Obama”? You must be seeing into the future! Actually, I did an end run around that whole gasoline thing and bought cars that run on natural gas instead. 87 cents a gallon here in Utah, and cleaner for the environment, too. So, no, I don’t drive any less, technically, but I don’t buy gasoline, either, so it doesn’t really matter in that respect…

Please confirm if these 2 tips regarding gas conservation are facts or myths:
1. staying/shifting to a lower gear, NEUTRAL specially, will stretch gas mileage.
2. Not using the car airconditioner will stretch gas mileage.
Any real and tested truths regarding vehicle gas conservation?

Make sure your tires have enough air, don’t drive too fast, don’t brake too hard, make sure your car is in good running condition, those are the most common sense things. Oh, DON’T USE AIR CONDITIONING, it’s a guzzler!

Turning off the AC will conserve gas. The AC compressor cycles off and on and while it’s “on” it’s creating a significant drag on the engine.
Turning off the heat doesn’t do a thing. The heat is just excess engine heat that is used to warm the car’s interior. One might argue that it cools down the motor and might cause some emission’s problems, but that’s more theory than fact.
And lastly in practice I agree with everyone else that the radio does not effect gas mileage. However all electrical components of the auto run off the alternator. The more current being drawn causes the alternator to create more drag on the engine. But this drag is insignificant and will not be noticed.
