✨⛽️Want to make sure that your vehicle is getting the best possible mileage per gallon? 1. AVOID SUDDEN ACCELERATION/BRAKING - a good habit to improve fuel economy is to take ~5 seconds to reach 15mph from a stop. Sudden acceleration and/or braking can decrease your fuel economy as much as 40%. You can save up to $.86 per gallon by eliminating this. 2. SHUT OFF AC when you're not on the highway - when driving speeds under 40mph, enjoy the warm weather, open your windows, and turn off your A/C. This could increase your fuel economy up to 25%. 3. GO THE SPEED LIMIT - According to the U.S. Dept of Energy, every 5mph you drive over 50mph is comparable to paying an extra $0.15/gallon for gas. Reducing your highway speeds by 5 to 10 mph can increase your fuel economy by 7 to 14 percent! 4. REMOVE EXCESS WEIGHT - Excess weight from bike racks, cargo racks, and more can decrease fuel economy by up to 25% on the interstate. Plus, any excess weight (>100lbs) can decrease the fuel economy by 1%. So remove any excess weight and cargo containers when not in use to save fuel and cash. 5. CHECK TIRE PRESSURE - Regularly check your tire pressure and make sure it’s within the optimal range for maximum fuel efficiency. Most tires have these readings on the side of them.
