Driving and Car Maintenance
Transportation accounts for 66% of U.S. oil use — mainly
in the form of gasoline. Luckily, there are plenty of
ways to improve gas mileage.
Driving
Tips
Idling
gets you 0 miles per gallon. The best way to warm up
a vehicle is to drive it. No more than 30 seconds of
idling on winter days is needed. Anything more
simply wastes fuel and increases emissions.
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration,
and hard braking) wastes gas. It can lower your
highway gas mileage 33% and city mileage 5%.
Avoid
high speeds. Above 60 mph, gas mileage drops
rapidly. The fueleconomy.gov Web site shows how
driving speed affects gas mileage.
When you
use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes
down. This saves gas and reduces wear.
Using
cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a
constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas.
Use air
conditioning only when necessary.
Clear
out your car; extra weight decreases gas mileage.
Reduce
drag by placing items inside the car or trunk rather
than on roof racks. A roof rack or carrier provides
additional cargo space and may allow you to buy a
smaller car. However, a loaded roof rack can
decrease your fuel economy by 5%.
Check
into telecommuting, carpooling and public transit to
cut mileage and car maintenance costs.
Car
Maintenance Tips
Use the
grade of motor oil recommended by your car's
manufacturer. Using a different motor oil can lower
your gasoline mileage by 1%-2%.
Keep
tires properly inflated and aligned to improve your
gasoline mileage by around 3.3%.
Get
regular engine tune-ups and car maintenance checks
to avoid fuel economy problems due to worn spark
plugs, dragging brakes, low transmission fluid, or
transmission problems.
Replace
clogged air filters to improve gas mileage by as
much as 10% and protect your engine.
Combine
errands into one trip. Several short trips, each one
taken from a cold start, can use twice as much fuel
as one trip covering the same distance when the
engine is warm.
