Want better gas mileage? With gas prices rising in the US, here are some simple tips to extend the life of your fuel tank.
Gas prices seem to keep inching higher and higher in every state. So how can we get our gas tanks to last just a few more miles? The amount of fuel your car uses can also depend on you and your driving habits. Do you like to floor it at a traffic light? Do you drive 9 mph over the posted speed limit? By changing just a few of those habits, you can make that fuel tank last longer distances.
“After a blistering week of gas prices jumping in nearly every town, city, state and area possible, more bad news is on the horizon,” said Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy. “It now appears not if, but when, we’ll hit that psychologically critical $5 national average.” Many states are already above $5 per gallon. The top 10 states according to AAA, including the District of Columbia, with the most expensive gas are: California , Nevada , Illinois , Alaska , Washington , Hawaii , Indiana Oregon and Michigan .Before you get on the road: Maintain your vehicle
For the best fuel efficiency, you should maintain your car properly. Check the car's fluids on a regular basis: engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid and fuel. Keep the tires properly inflated. If they are underinflated, they can degrade the vehicle's braking and handling and reduce your fuel economy.If you have errands to run, map out your route beforehand, to avoid backtracking. Try to accomplish as many errands on one trip.
