With Gas Prices in the USA going through the roof, here are 7 tips that will have you saving money on gas fast. When you apply them all, you could even double the mileage you get on a gallon of gas! That may seem a bit far fetched but it really is not impossible. So, in reverse order (the best is last) here are 7 tips to help you conquer high Gas Prices - USA:
High Gas Prices USA - Tip #7 - Use Your Cars Overdrive Mechanism By using overdrive gears, your car's engine speed is reduced. This saves fuel and lessens engine wear.
High Gas Prices USA - Tip #6 - Use Your Cruise Control Using your cars cruise control on the highway helps you sustain a constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas. Please note that you should not use your cruise control around town or in heavy traffic.
High Gas Prices USA - Tip #5 - Avoid Excessive Idling When your car is idling it is getting 0 miles per gallon. Autos with larger engines usually waste more gas while idling than do cars with smaller engines.
High Gas Prices USA - Tip #4 - Remove Excess Weight Stop storing needless items in your car, especially heavy ones. An additional 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%. The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight as it relates to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones. Fuel Economy Benefit:1-2%/100 lbs Equivalent Gasoline Savings:$0.04-$0.08/gallon
High Gas Prices USA - Tip #3 - Observe the Speed Limit While each automobile reaches its best possible fuel efficiency at a different speed (or range of speeds), gas mileage usually deminishes quickly at speeds above 60 mph. You can estimate that for every 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.30 per gallon for fuel. Observing the speed limit is also safer. Fuel Economy Benefit:7-23% Equivalent Gasoline Savings:$0.29-$0.94/gallon
High Gas Prices USA - Tip #2 - Drive Sensibly Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money. Fuel Economy Benefit:5-33% Equivalent Gasoline Savings:$0.20-$1.35/gallon
High Gas Prices USA - Tip #1 - BEST TIP: Convert your car to a Hydrogen Hybrid When you do it yourself (you don't need to be a mechanic), you can convert your car to a Hydrogen Hybrid for less than $200 total and no modifications to the engine are required. Your car will run smoother, have less harmful emissions, and you can easily have 20% to 50% better fuel economy. Although one 1990 Jeep I know of went from 17 MPG to 35 MPG with this conversion, that is a bit unusual. The average is a 20-50% increase in mileage. Additional cars can be converted for about $70-$80 per car because the total above includes buying the 'how to' instructions. Fuel Economy Benefit:20-50% (or more) Equivalent Gasoline Savings:$0.68-$1.89/gallon This collection of tips are just tips unless you put them to practice. Using them will certainly reduce the money you spend at the pump regardless of what Gas Prices are in the USA.
Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $4.08/gallon.
