10 Tips To Save Fuel

There is an article in http://cars.about.com/od/helpforcarbuyers/tp/ag_top_fuelsave.htm giving tips on saving fuel by Aaron Gold.  Here are the 10 tips without elaboration.

 Top 10 Fuel Saving Tips

  1. Check your air filter – A clean air filter is the key to good fuel economy.
  2. Check your tire pressure – Keep them properly inflated
  3. Slow down – As speed increases, fuel economy decreases exponentially.
  4. Hang with the trucks – Rolling with the big rigs saves fuel (and aggravation).
  5. Accelerate with care – If you accelerate to speed then have to brake right away, that’s wasted fuel.
  6. Get back to nature – Shutting off the air conditioner.
  7. Back off the bling – For long road trips, the stock wheels give a smoother ride and better economy.
  8. Clean out your car – The more weight your car has to haul, the more gas it needs to do the work.
  9. Out with the new, in with the old – The costs of keeping the car may or may not be less then the fuel saved, but it does allow for more predictability in your budget.
  10. Don’t drive -  “Is this trip really necessary?”


I personally like the 10th tip – Don’t drive.  If our public transportation is being well-developed, I believe most of us will choose do not drive.

Who can stand the jam and toll fee all the time??
