Want to make sure your vehicle gets the best possible mileage per gallon?

1. AVOID SUDDEN ACCELERATION/BRAKING – a good habit to improve fuel economy is to take 5 seconds to reach 15 mph from a stop. Harsh acceleration and/or braking can reduce your fuel economy by up to 40%. You can save up to .86 per gallon by eliminating this.

2. TURN OFF the air conditioning when not on the highway – when driving at speeds below 40 mph, take advantage of the warm weather, open your windows and turn off your air conditioning. This could increase your fuel economy by up to 25%.

3. EXCEED THE SPEED LIMIT – According to the U.S. Department of Energy, every 5 mph you drive over 50 mph is comparable to paying 0.15/gallon extra for gasoline. Reducing your highway speed by 5 to 10 mph can increase your fuel economy by 7 to 14 percent!

4. REMOVE EXCESS WEIGHT – Excess weight from bike racks, cargo racks and more can reduce fuel economy by up to 25% on the highway. Additionally, any excess weight (greater than 100 lbs) can reduce fuel economy by 1%. So remove any excess weight and cargo containers when not in use to save fuel and money.

5. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE – Check your tire pressure regularly and make sure it is within the optimal range for maximum fuel efficiency. Most tires have these markings on the side.
