We are all familiar with the high price of gas. More than likely, you have heard all kinds of tricks and tips to help save fuel. Always keep your tires inflated to the proper pressure. Slightly under-inflated tires take more effort to push down the road, requiring more fuel. Keeping your fuel and air filters clean, and having your automobile tuned up on a regular basis will also help save fuel. This has become common knowledge.
Quite often, however, some of the best fuel saving techniques go unmentioned. Ron Haugen, owner of Westside Auto Pros in Clive, Iowa offers a few time tested techniques to save money at the pump. “Sudden accelleration is the biggest killer of fuel economy, as getting through the gears is your single most inefficient way of driving.”
Any time that a car accelerates from a full stop, it burns more fuel than when coasting along at highway speeds. Keep this in mind when shifting through the gears, and try to accelerate as slowly as possible. Upon deceleration, it is a good idea to place the vehicle in neutral and coast to a stop.When travelling on the open road, simply slowing down and driving a few miles an hour under the speed limit can save a tremendous amount of fuel.
Follow these tips and you will very likely see a noticeable reduction in fuel usage. These simple cost-saving efforts will allow you to save a fortune. For more advice on how car owners can prevent costly repairs through routine maintenance, visit www.westsideautopros.com.
