More Tips To Save Gas

Posted July 15th, 2009 by Jennifer

  • Avoid warming up the engine for long periods of time, some mornings are cold but just 30-45 seconds is plenty.
  • Avoid driving over the speed limit. Not only does this keep you from a costly speeding ticket but believe it or not traveling at 55 mpg  gives you up to 21% better gas mileage when compared to 65 and 70 mpg. 
  •  Clean out your vehicle. Keep any extra heavy weight out of the vehicle when not needed as it reduces mileage.
  • The shortest route is not always the best! The heavy traffic and traffic lights is not the best way to save on fuel, even if it saves those 5 minutes.
  • Have cruise control? Use it. It does actually help get you savings.
  • Take advantage of the new government program Cash For Clunkers and trade in that gas guzzler for a new fuel efficient Honda!
