Fuel Economy Tips

If you own a car, the cost of fuel likely interests you. While purchasing a fuel-efficient vehicle certainly helps, there are a number of ways to keep fuel expenses down with the vehicle you currently own. Below are some helpful fuel economy tips.

Avoid Heavy Traffic

While most of us want to avoid this anyway, driving in heavy traffic can cause you to use a significant amount of gas. The fuel needed to stop and start constantly can put a huge strain on your vehicle.

Close The Windows

This isn't as much of a concern at slower speeds, but when driving at higher speeds, make sure to close the windows to make sure your car is as aerodynamic as possible.

Reduce Your Car's Weight

While this may seem like an obvious tip, it is worth considering how random junk has accumulated in your car. Getting rid of this will make your car more fuel efficient.
