Given a relatively open road, equal distance, same driving skill etc.
I have heard conflicting advice from people, some saying faster, others slower. Some say it differs on fuel type such as diesel being better slower and petrol vice versa.
I used to believe in the ‘faster theory’ (via intuition) but I’m now conficted.
NB: ignore accidents or safety or being late.

Is that true that fuel burns off faster the closer it is to E? I have heard that. I just got my first car so I am wondering if I should fill up everytime it gets to only half-way full, and try to always keep my gas tank towards full. I’ll do that if it ends up saving me money. So I would actually lose money by keeping it closer to E, rather than constantly trying to keep it at a close to and/or full level? So is this true? Thank you

Okay, my mom bought a new Lexus RX350
I told her that if she drives slower and at a constant speed, you’ll save more gas.
But she thinks that if you drive faster and get to the place you want faster, you save more gas.
Which is correct?
And does every car have its optimal mpg level?

I’ve heard in the news that some airline operators have instructed their pilots to fly their planes slower to conserve fuel, so I wonder what has speed got to do with fuel usage.
I’ve heard in the news that some airline operators have instructed their pilots to fly their planes slower to conserve fuel, so I wonder what has speed got to do with fuel usage.
Because for example, if a driver reaches a place 10kms away from start in 15mins on fast speed and if another reaches the same distance in 30mins on slow speed, then won’t the slow driver spend as much fuel as the faster driver as he drove for a longer period of time to the same distance as him?
Isn’t FAST SPEED & LESS TIME equal the same amount of fuel usage compared to SLOW SPEED & MORE TIME?
Please explain in detail as I’m confused.
Thanks.

I drive about an hour to work and an hour back home each day. I drive fast sometimes and the gas is very expensive. Does driving faster use more gas or does driving slower save gas?
Also, does using cruise control use more gas?

Ok, i just asked this same question yesterday, but turns out i need to be alittle more specific. the same basics again, i drive a 2005 chevy cobalt 2.2L 4cyl engine, manual transmission. I’m trying to get a little more get up and go from my engine, without dropping a lot of cash, like i said last time, i know those two things go hand in hand, but work with me. I’ve heard of the new air intake, i am probably going to do that, probably a K&N. But other than that, i need some suggestions.
last question, 90% of the responses were either “save your money, buy a new engine” “buy a new car” or something along those lines, if that is your answer, please don’t waste your time. I’m not trying to be jeff gordon or anything, but just go a little faster, little more acceleration, without tons of cash. i didn’t know if something like using a different type of oil in my car? if higher octane gasoline will give you moer power? maybe new spark plugs? if so examples on what is a good brand. And possibly some new exhaust, but i don’t want to sound like one of those honda civic’s with the huge muffler you can hear coming from a mile away if you know what i mean. or if new headers or something, i’m not sure how much that costs though.
any suggestions are welcome, the cheaper the better, and examples please! and again, not trying to be mean, but don’t waste your time if your just going to tell me to buy a new car, or completely overhaul my engine, i already know that i can BUY a new faster car, i’m trying to work with what i got here!

I want to know what features in a car makes it waste more gas … for example .. a 4 Cylinderwill waste less gas than a 6 Cylinder. Is there any other feature or factor that will help the car save gas?
Also is there a website that I can go to to know how much gas does a specific brand of car waste?
A motorcycle is out of the question .. LOL

Say you’re going the same distance either way–which would save more gas?

To me it seems like the gas in my tank is burning faster than it has before. I have even tried conserving, like easing off the accelerator and everything else I can think of. I’m thinking I’m either imagining it, or the oil companies are pulling more tricks. Has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
