Useful fuel saving tips - Arizona Gas Prices

ArizonaGasPrices.com Top Ten Fuel Saving Tips
1	Avoid High Speeds	As your speed increases, your aerodynamic drag increases in an exponential fashion. Driving 62 mph (100 km/h) vs 75 mph (120 km/h) will reduce fuel consumption by about 15%.
2	Do Not Accelerate or Brake Hard	By anticipating the traffic and applying slow steady acceleration and braking, fuel economy may increase by as much as 20%.
3	Keep Tires Properly Inflated	Keep tire air pressure at the level recommended by your vehicle manufacturer. A single tire under inflated by 2 PSI, increases fuel consumption by 1%.
4	Use A/C Sparingly	When the air conditioner is on it puts extra load on the engine forcing more fuel to be used (by about 20%). The defrost position on most vehicles also uses the air conditioner.
5	Keep Windows Closed	Windows open, especially at highway speeds, increase drag and result in decreased fuel economy of up to 10%.
6	Service Vehicle Regularly	Proper maintenance avoids poor fuel economy related to dirty air filters, old spark plugs or low fluid levels.
7	Use Cruise Control	Maintaining a constant speed over long distances often saves gas.
8	Avoid Heavy Loads	Remove the sand bags from your trunk in the spring and pack lightly for long trips.
9	Avoid Long Idles	If you anticipate being stopped for more than 1 minute, shut off the car. Restarting the car uses less fuel than letting it idle for this time.
10	Purchase a Fuel Efficient Vehicle	When buying a new vehicle examine the vehicle's rated fuel efficiency. Usually choosing a small vehicle with a manual transmission will provide you with great fuel economy.
