Part 2 - Save fuel on the road
Saving fuel after a visit to your local Quick Lane is just the start. Here are a few things you can be conscious of when you're behind the wheel to help you squeeze a little more out of your gas dollars.
- Avoid aggressive driving. Not only can it be dangerous, but constant speed changes and quick, uneven stops and starts waste a lot of fuel. Taking it easier behind the wheel can improve your gas mileage by as much as 33%
- Remove excess weight. You can save about 2% in fuel efficiency for every 100 lbs. of extra clutter you can remove from your car or truck
- Use your cruise control. It's almost always more fuel efficient to travel at a constant speed whenever possible
- Avoid idling. It's more fuel efficient to turn off your engine when you're waiting in the car
- Combine trips. Your engine works most efficiently when warmed up
