Gas-Saving Tips:
This section provides you with information and options for saving gas, by changing your driving habits, and ensuring your auto is properly maintained.
Quick Tips for Saving on Gas While Driving:
- Drive Conservatively:
If you see a red light ahead, let off the gas. Often, you will still be moving when reaching the light after it's green, and while "coasting" to a stop, you're saving fuel!
-
Use Your Turn Signals:
Using turn signals alerts other drivers to your actions. They can then plan accordingly, by stopping, slowing, or changing lanes as needed; thereby saving fuel for yourself and other drivers, while remaining courteous.
General Fuel-Saving Tips:
Keep your tires inflated to the proper pressure to reduce road-friction and increase mileage
Change your oil frequently to reduce engine friction and increase mileage
Change your air filters frequently; dirty air filters inhibit your engine's power and mileage
