Ten Fuel Saving Tips: d. a# i) y* d1 e) @9 Y. ]5 z ?
1 Avoid High Speeds As your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph (100 km/h) vs 75 mph (120 km/h) will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%. _; a/ |& ^* p( q- ]* a
2 Do Not Accelerate or Brake Hard By anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%.$ h, j: }3 g/ P5 {: G
3 Keep Tires Properly Inflated Keep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%. r! Q9 C0 k) ~% B
