TRYING TO SAVE GAS! tips for reducing fuel consumption?

>Turn the lights off 1 hour a day and make sure their off when their not needed. This saves lots of energy.

>Walk to school or work. Dont go with a car. Cars waste lots of petrol. Especially in traffic. If you really really really have to, then go with a car, but in traffic, dont keep the car running. By walking you can shake off some kilos too!

My best tip is not changing the car but changing the driving style. This saves money on buying a new car and keeping the world green as you would not have to scrap a car. So build up speed before you go on a hill or just not overtaking for no reason. Being pataient saves you gas.

slow down take you foot off the gas

Drive like an old person!!! lol it works.. Accelerate slowly, and coast as much as you can. Press only very lightly on the gas, as anything close to flooring it will drink that gas up really quick! Don’t run your A/C, that increases the workload on your engine, requiring you to push the gas harder for the same acceleration. You could also try some engine cleaning fuel additives, found at most any gas station convenience store or auto-parts place. Also, make sure your tires are inflated to the maximum safe air pressure at all times… That affects MPG too, as you need more gas to overcome the extra friction caused by more surface area of the tire on the road when they are a little on the flatter side… Lotsa little stuff like that you can do to maximize MPG…

Here are a few tips you want to consider when reducing fuel consumption:

*Take public transportation. This is perhaps the most obvious way to save on fuel. Instead of driving everywhere, you may want to take the bus or transit system (train) if it is in your area. Large cities like Washington DC or Newyork or prime examples of how you can save on gas.

*Carpool. Its always better if you can hitch a ride with a friend or someone you know that is going the same place you are. If you know someone you work with and you arrive at the same time, ask them if you can hitch a ride with them every morning. By carpooling you are helping yourself in terms of reducing fuel consumption and helping the environment.

*Use a bicycle. This is similiar to public transportation with the exception of, you have your own alternative means of transportation. Obviously you can’t bike everywhere but you can bike to certain areas more often than not.

*Limit how much you travel. If you don’t have to drive somewhere then’t opt to take a walk to the place you desire if you can. By walking you are exercising and saving on fuel.

*Purchase a fuel efficient vehicle. If you can afford one, look into hybrid cars that have excellent gas per mileage. Examples would be the Toyota or Honda brands. Some get 34 to 36 mpg.
