What are some simple ways to save gas -better gas mileage?
There are few thing you can do to save (or maximize) gas MPG. First get a tune-up.



(1) spark plugs

(2) spark plug wires

(3) distributors, coil, rotors (if you have them).

(4) new air filter

(5) PCV

(6) correct tire pressure

(7) clear the trunk of useless heavy items

(8) spray clean MAF sensor.

Forget all those %26quot;SAVE GAS%26quot; scams. This was on NBC morning TV show. The difference is as much as 38% (their claim). There are very simple rules to save gas:



(1) drive slow - not too much past 55

(2) accelerate slowly

(3) don't brake unnecessarily

(4) use cruise control - whenever it is safe to do so.



Don't coast - it is NOT safe and it does NOT save gas.



The above really works. Using those simple rules I was able to drive from Boston to NYC (210.5 miles) on just 5.112 gallon (94 Civic). That's 41 MPG (94 Civic 187K miles). Actually I was speeding at 72 MPH so I could do even better at 55.



Simple as that.





Good Luck...

I read somewhere that you should drive with the windows closed for better aerodynamics.



And avoid drive-throughs, and idling in general.
I heard on the news that you should fill your gas tank very slowly...gas vaporizes easily, so you get the tank more full if you fill it slowly. Also, fill tank when it is cooler (evening) for the same reason...you get more for less, even if it is a small amount. At these prices, every little thing helps.
Gee Lover if there was a gas converter on your car just imagine how much more you can save -

NO , as you may yhink I work for one of these mobs , but I DO NOT - I am an Aussie who has seen it work
