Avoid warming up your vehicle in the driveway. Bring your engine up to optimal driving temperature by driving slowly for the first few blocks.
Accelerate smoothly. Jackrabbit starts waste gas.
Maintain a steady speed and take advantage of timed traffic lights.
Proper tire inflation and wheel alignment decrease road resistance and fuel consumption. Check tire presure monthly and rotate tires as prescribed in your maintenance schedule for your vehicle.
Well-maintained vehicles use fuel more efficiently.
Use your air-conditioning wisely: when on, your engine uses more fuel.
Drive less by planning ahead. Try to do all your errands in one trip, and plan the most efficient route.
If you have a manual transmission, shift into high gear as soon as possible without straining the engine.
