Gas is an expense most people cannot avoid. If you own an Infiniti G35, you are sporting around town in a luxury sedan or coupe, which may be costing you a lot in monthly payments. Fortunately, there are ways to reduce your gas expense so that you can keep more money in your pocket and more comfortably afford your Infiniti G35, especially when gas prices hit record highs.
Don't use your brake more than you have to. Keep distance between you and the next car. If you follow another car too closely, you will have to brake whenever he brakes rather than simply letting up on the accelerator. Also, let up on your accelerator when approaching a red light. Try not to stop.
Slowly accelerate. Infiniti G35 can hit 60 mph in less than six seconds but that doesn't mean you have to do this. Rather, gently accelerate.
Use a manual shift. Infiniti G35 comes in both manual and automatic. You can save more with manual by shifting to neutral when you're idle and using overdrive gears whenever possible.
Take advantage of the cruise control. This will help maintain your speed and will accelerate less, which is what eats up most of your gas.
Empty your load. Infiniti G35 has a large trunk and you may possibly have it loaded with golf clubs, sodas from the wholesale store, and other heavy items. Try to keep your car as light as possible.
Inflate your tires. Look on the tires themselves to see how much air they need before filling them up. Then, check your tire pressure again after a week to see if you are slowly losing air. If so, see about having it repaired.
Drive the speed limit. Anything faster than 40 mph will cost you more gas money. You can save 10 to 20 percent of gas just by driving 55 mph instead of 65 mph. It's also safer. In addition, on roads with stoplights, when you drive the speed limit, lights are often timed to allow you to hit more green lights. If you speed, you may just be hurrying to the next red light. Speed doesn't always equal time saving.
Fill up your gas tank during the cooler times of day when the gas is at its densest point, giving you more gas for your money. Also, don't overfill your tank.
