If you know any grand prix driver in your vicinity, you should have a chat with them. They may look to you carefree, but no one knows cars better than they do. If there’s anyone who can teach you how to spend less on gas when you drive, they can.
Whenever possible, you want to know that the air conditioner in your car is not running. Sure it is a luxury that you want more and more of, but can you really afford it? Boy, those things are running up a gas bill like you can’t imagine. Turn it off just a bit, will you? When you are not trying to keep heat or some pollution out, keep the glass rolled down.
Did you know that you can also extend the life time of your battery by simply using some of the best battery charger kits available?
Running an air conditioning unit is… cool, but it burns gas more rapidly. When you don’t need it, turn it off. For instance, if the weather is not really that hot, you don’t need to run the a/c; the same applies when you are not in a dust-laden region. You get to burn about 15% less gas with the a/c off!
There is an optimum cruising speed attached to your vehicle. Sincerely, you are never better off than when you ‘cruise’ at that speed, especially if you are trying to save gas. Any faster or slower does not really help.
You don’t want to fit your vehicle with inferior parts. They may cost less at the time that you are buying them, but sooner than later, they cost you a lot more to maintain. These things cause the machine to overwork itself to compensate for the poor performances, and ultimately burn more fuel. Only parts that the doctor orders, please.
