Ease up on the accelerator -
Speed loves gas, so ease up on the accelerator. Your pocket will appreciate the gesture, and you'll be a whole lot safer, too.
Drive more slowly -
Actually, driving more slowly lessens drag, which in turn increases fuel consumption and generates a smoother drive.
Don't run on empty -
Never run a vehicle on empty. Fill up well beforehand, unless you want to end up paying for whatever gas you can find or worse: you end up stranded in the middle of nowhere.
Monitor your tires -
Underinflated tires tend to wear out quicker and waste gas. It's also very dangerous to operate any vehicle with incorrect tire pressure. Check them regularly.
Change filters -
Regular basic vehicle maintenance includes periodically changing the air filters. This helps to keep cars running more fuel efficiently.
Use GPS -
Choose the best route by engaging your vehicle's GPS satnav system to plan the most fuel-efficient way to get to your destination.
Consider going hybrid - The advantages of running a hybrid unit include the obvious reduction in gas usage and the potential to save on gas, depending on how the car is used.
Use a gas app - Consider downloading a gas app such as GasBuddy, which is designed to save you money at the pump based on finding real-time fuel prices.
Travel light -
It goes without saying that a heavy car is a slower car. Extra cargo drags down fuel efficiency, so next time you pack the trunk double check the load.
Car share - Consider car sharing on a rotational basis as a way to reduce travel costs.
