Improve My Gas Mileage!
I was able to improve my gas mileage over 40% – and I did it without spending a dime. In other words come spending a little over half of what I used to spend on gas.
In order to prove my gas mileage, I have to know what my car in gas mileage is. By using a very simple gas mileage calculator, I can figure out exactly what my current miles per gallon are. This is done by writing down how much I’d fill up, and how far I drive, then dividing the miles I went by the gallons I used.
Now I can improve my gas mileage. The first step is basic core maintenance. By simply checking might air filter and wail, I can boost my gas mileage by as much as 10%. Dirty oil makes the engine run hotter and harder, using more gas.
I get another 5% boost with a clean air filter. Dirty work clogged air filters allow less oxygen into your engine, making for less efficient combustion. This uses more gas.
A big boost to improve my gas mileage is by insuring my tires are properly inflated. Tires with low air pressure are harder to roll, again making the engine work harder to move the car. I make it a point to check my tire pressure every time I get a fill up.
Another way to improve my gas mileage is by lightening my load. Every 50 pounds I take out of the car translates to a 1% gas mileage improvement. This is a great excuse to finally clean out your trunk and backseat.
I get my biggest gas mileage improvements with changes in my driving habits. scheduling my errands so that I can combine them together, and of waiting unnecessary driving during rush hour, means less idling, last stop and go traffic, and less congestion. Rush hour driving is extremely inefficient.
I improve my gas mileage up to 40% simply by combining good car maintenance, common sense driving and a little bit of planning. Adding all of these together, means I am effectively paying 40% less for gas. That comes out to a big savings because I have to fill up my tank, much less frequently.
