I make the same route to my duties every day. On this route is the cheapest gas station (literally right off the street on my way, so I travel less than 1/50th of a mile to have to pull into the gas station from my route, fill up, and then get back on my route. My question is, with my choise gas station being so close to my route, would it be more efficient to only do $5-$10 at a time so that there is less gas weight in the car, would that translate to more fuel efficiency? Or would topping it off every time save more gas? Any explanation would be appreciated.

One mechanic told me that the 97+ Montana or Ventura is the best van for the money. Somone else said that the Astro or Safari is more rugged like a truck, but I dont know if it is as good on gas.
Is it better to buy from an individual in a private sale generally, or better to go to a used car/ van dealer ? Are used vehicles generally less expensive to purchase in Quebec than in Ontario ? How about the Maratimes ?
I’ve been driving my Dodge Mini-Caravan for 13 years, and put in a second transmission and second engine. I do store to store sales, and drive thousands of kms during 8 months of the year. I took the seats out and created a second level in the van so that I can sleep and avoid expensive motel costs, while keeping supplies under the plywood board suported by milk crates.A motor home would be most comfortable, but too expensive on gas. Im trying to save for a small home, so my van will be my home for the next few years. Ive liked the feel of the Caravan but dont know others

But I can’t keep spending money like this.

I have a 2010 Ford F-150 4×4 supercrew with a 4.6 V8 engine in it. I was just wondering if it is really worth spending the money to put a fuel economy chip in it, and if so what is the best chip to get?

I have a 2001 Lexus IS300 stock. It is a 3.0 liter tiptronic (automatic and manual) with a V6 VVTi engine. My fuel economy is 18 city and 23 highway. Which saves me more gas, driving in manual or driving in automatic? And what are some ways to save me gas in general such as a cold air intake/lighter tires/dropping metal? Thanks!

When the EPA estimates a car’s fuel economy, how do they drive the car? Do they accelerate slow to get stay in the lower RPMs, and ultimately save more gas, or do they accelerate normally, or even accelerate hard.
When testing highway miles, I’ve heard a cars fuel economy decreases 10% for every 5 miles over 60. Does the EPA test highway MPG at 60mph? 65mph is standard for most states, Michigan, I know, the highway is 70mph. Naturally the mpg is decieving for states where the highway is 70mph, unless the EPA test for the limits of all states?
When on the highway, does the EPA test fuel economy while the car is on cruise control for maxium fuel economy? or do they drive without it?
