Under normal city driving conditions, which is the best way to save on fuel given the traffic and the short start and stop episodes?

How stupid can he be? One, no one will go by it. Two, only one that will benifit is the police, writing tickets. Three, We truck drivers are barely making it as it is with the new HOS rules, Maybe it is time we DO strike, for all the Government BS rules that they have NO clue over and get THEIR attention. NO TRUCKS will mean NO GAS for their Limo’s and SUV’s!

Soaring gas prices is crushing the economy. Diesel fuel is outrageous.
Gas prices is causing food prices to increase as well. The truckers that get the food to the grocery stores are passing along their expenses. What else do the truckers deliver everyday that will increase in price??
We keep being told to reduce our driving to help conserve. This hurts the economy because you are not out spending money. Retail sales are down.
Can everyone not see the price of gas will destroy our economy? (Sometimes I think this is why the oil cartel is doing this)
Who is going to help?
Thanks Scott.

I know it’s not a popular idea, But it has been proven that big vehicles DO get better fuel mileage going at least 5 miles slower than the speed limit and good fuel mileage vehicles do even better at lower speeds. And another plus would be in saving lives. I don’t mean 55, but something around 65 or maybe 60? What do you think? The Texas county that I live in has a 80 MPH speed limit.

logic detates that if the gear ratio to the RPMs of the engine are more insink the we could save MPG. For trucks/pickups there could be a hi/low transfer case to give power when needed and when power is not needed switch to higher gears and increase MPG to save fuel .

what I mean is I figured I would put about 13k less miles on my car per year which is what I do now and you save on gas but then you do have to pay for your bus fare and subway.

I’m sure this is one of those questions that there is no “simple” answer, so let me specify. Say I’m just cruising along going around 30, making it so I could put my car (98 ford escort SE, btw) in 3rd or 4th and both would run smoothly. Which saves more gas? I’m pretty mind-numbingly dumb when it comes to cars, so save any BS you’re going to give me. Best answer goes to the person who clarifys it the best.
btw, there is no RPM keeper-tracker, and if you can’t tell by “keeper-tracker”, I know shit about cars.

I always hear talk about people with manual transmissions save more gas than people with automatic cars. I have the old school manual. Not this new stuff where there is no clutch. I have a clutch on mine the old school stick shift. Anyway, I’ve been trying to save gas. Do I burn more gas in a higher gear or a lower gear. Where should I keep the RPM’s when I’m driving in the higher or lower gear at that as well? Example. It redlines at 9000 RPMS. I’m trying to save gas. Should I have it halfway driving in that particular gear, and should I be driving in a high or low gear so I don’t burn as much gas?

I would imagine so because if your on lower rpm’s, you obviously have little revolutions, thus saving gas. But I was also thinking that if you do have it on a high gear, you’ll be exerting alot of power but not using it.

I had a half tank of gas and traveled 79 miles and my gas tank was empty at that point. What would make the mpg change? I drove back roads and basically drove slower to conserve on gas. Instead my car gobbled it up. Average speed 50 mph.
