1) Roll up your windows: It’s not always ideal for spring time, but at highway speeds it can decrease your fuel economy up to 10%.
2) Drive more slowly: We all want to get from point A to point B as fast as possible. It’s important to remember that going 60 instead of 70 on the highway can save you 2-4 miles per gallon. Sometime slow and steady wins the race!
3) Turn it off: If you are waiting for someone or stuck waiting for a train to pass, shut off your engine. Even if it’s just for a minute, it can make a difference in your fuel economy.
4) Go easy on the pedal: Don’t accelerate quickly, or stomp on your breaks. Not only will this make your breaks last longer, but it will also help save you fuel!
5) Only warm your car for 30 seconds: I know this is a tough one in the winter but most modern cars only need 30 seconds to warm up.
