⛽ Fuel Efficiency Tips
- • Maintain steady speeds on highways (55-65 mph optimal)
- • Keep tires properly inflated to improve efficiency by 3%
- • Remove excess weight - every 100 lbs reduces efficiency by 1-2%
- • Consider carpooling or public transit for daily commutes
- • Combine errands into single trips to reduce cold starts
- • Use cruise control on highways to maintain consistent speed
- • Regular maintenance: clean air filter, tune-ups improve MPG by 4%
Cost Savings Tips
- • Use apps like GasBuddy to find cheapest nearby stations
- • Fill up early in the week when prices are typically lower
- • Consider fuel rewards credit cards for 2-5% cash back
- • Join warehouse clubs for discounted fuel prices
- • Plan routes to avoid traffic and reduce idle time
How it works
Gas mileage (fuel economy) measures how far you travel per unit of fuel. Track the miles driven between fill-ups and the gallons it took to refill, then divide miles by gallons for miles per gallon.
Fuel economy
MPG = miles driven ÷ gallons used
- miles
- distance since the last fill-up
- gallons
- fuel added to refill
Worked example
- Drove 360 miles
- Refill took 12 gallons
- MPG = 360 ÷ 12
30 miles per gallon.
Good to know
- Fill the tank fully both times and reset the trip meter for an accurate reading.
- MPG drops with aggressive driving, heavy loads, low tire pressure, and cold weather.
- Convert to L/100km (the metric standard) with: 235.2 ÷ MPG.
