With gas over $4 you want to be able to get the most out of every gallon you buy.
With couple of simple steps you can getter fuel economy and save on gas.
While you cannot save much on car insurance or car payments, you have more flexibility with your driving.
Do not drive over 2000 RPM. This can be difficult to get used to, but it totally extends your gas millage. Most cars are geared to cruise between 1800 and 2000 RPM. Ignore people who honk at you if you are slow. Let them burn their gas instead. Driving below 2000 RPM will also make you avoid speeding tickets!
Keep your tires properly inflated; under-inflated tires can cause extra drag and overinflated tires can be dangerous as well. Check the sidewall on the tire for the recommended pressure. This will will not only get you better gas mileage but also less wear on your tires.
Don't use air conditioning unless you need it. Do not open windows at high speed as this will increase drag and your engine has to work harder.
On the highway and long trips, use cruise control as much as possible as it will give you a regular speed,save gas and increase gas mileage.
