In situations where high speeds are required, careful use of cruise control will mitigate increase efficiency. Finally, avoid letting your engine run while your car reminds idle. This wasteful engine activity burns up to half a gallon of gas per hour.

Keeping your tires inflated to a manufacturer-recommended pressure, for instance, reduces rolling resistance and gets you more miles to the gallon. Likewise, keeping your engine at its top performance levels circumvents fuel waste by a hampered powertrain. Stay conscious of your vehicle’s weight too. Removing excess trunk items, especially during your daily commute, will make it easier for your vehicle to achieve maximum fuel efficiency.

Larger vehicles and older mid-sized cars are likely those with the worst gas mileage ratings. Choosing a smaller vehicle or a comparable model with better fuel efficiency can save you hundreds at the pump. In fact, the U.S. Department of Energy reports that a 30-mpg vehicle saves nearly $900 annually over a 20-mpg vehicle. Find a pre-owned vehicle with superior gas mileage to maximize the amount of money your household saves.
