I used to think it did. Then I heard that you actually save more fuel when going downhill, if you leave your car in gear and just take your foot off the petrol pedal. (Instead of taking it out of gear and pushing down the clutch) So which one is true, and why? How does it work?
DJ, honestly I don’t know what you’re on about. The oil spill is even more reason to try and save fuel where ever possible.

Postman could also check water, gas, and electric meters while on their routes. I would think these modifications would save a lot of fuel. For that matter, mail delivery could be slowed by two days and reduce the amount of mail that is transported by air. It could be sent by rail instead and rail uses much less fuel per pound.

Many years ago when there was a fuel imbargo imposed on the US the Government imposed a 55 mile an hour speed limit all over the country,so why with gas going out of sight dont they set the limit again,or maybe they like the added tax there getting with the high cost.Any thoughts out there or are we doomed till the end?.

Back in the 70′s I believe we DID have a national speed limit. Those of you who don’t think driving 55 or 60 will save gas probably don’t know how to read. Any publication that discusses saving gas, such as Consumers Report or Popular Science and many other intelligent publications will inform you that these speeds DO save fuel. Unless, of course you don’t give a _ _ _ _ about our Country.

i have a 91 honda accord with 178,000 miles
and its supposed to get 374/476 miles on a whole tank, but i find it really hard to get even 300 on one tank driving in the city
mostly, i don’t accelerate very hard to conserve gas
i know the car is old and that’s why the fuel economy is down, but what parts can i replace to help make it better?
tune up, oil change, air filter, and timing were all done recently

Plus 1 x per mo we have a potluck. I live at least 10 miles from my church and some people live even farther away. I don’t understand why people aren’t more concerned about burning gas. I can understand the regular church attendance, but not anything extra.
Am I being unreasonable?
