Gas prices are insanely high. The average cost per gallon in the US today is nearly $4.00, depending on which state you live in. And not everybody is able to afford a hybrid car. So here are some helpful tips to save some gas while you drive:
1. Make gradual stops. Try to avoid hard stops, these are major gas sippers. This improves fuel efficiency by 50%.
2. Accelerate faster rather than slowly ramping up speed.
3. When driving at high speeds make sure you close the windows and turn on your A/C. Do the opposite when driving at slow speeds.
4. Warm up the engine. A warm engine will perform more efficiently.
5. Make right turns only when city driving. This tactic is used by FedEx.
6. Keep a steady pace. Use your cruise control.
7. The heavier the car is, the more fuel it will consume. Lighten the load.
