8 New Ways to Save on Gas

Seven tips that work for me...

1) Drive a 4-cylinder motor vehicle

2) Use Mobil 1 Synthetic oils

3) Use K&N air and oil filters

4) Inflate your tires to the MAX pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire

5) Use cruise control on the highway

6) Use 87 octane only

7) Automatic transmission

Wash car, coast downhill, OK

My opinion: Wash and wax your car and take the roof rack off(reduces wind turbulence), use higher octane fuel(10cent more- 2.5% higher price, 10% increase in mpg)roll windows up. maintain constant speed, take unnecessary items out of your car, stop accelereating if you see stopped cars or red light ahead(youll master this technique)even if you are in a hurry(take chamomile tea or valerian), stay at a speed close to 55 mph(this is the single most efficient speed according to experts) when possible( use the slow lane on the right),use the thinnest tire thread tire you can( reduces rolling resistance),replace fuel filter with high flow permanent(or put a stretched ladies stocking instead of fuel filter; make sure it stays put and has no holes), tune up car, use fuel injector cleaner(costs 1$ pays for itself in fuel economy).

Ease the pedal; youll arrive 5 minutes late; leave early or use your cell(with handsfree) to say when you'll be arriving.

Theres more, but have no tmore time.

Dont shut off car completely!!!

If you shut off the car completely, the steering wheel locks!!!!!!!! You can only perform that manouver if you are clever enough to shut the engine but not the whole car!!!!!!!!
