Slow down. The faster you move, the more your engine has to work to change the wind. Speeding can reduce fuel efficiency by 33%. Use cruise control. In most situations, use your cruise control reduces fuel consumption by maintaining a constant speed. Avoid as much as possible to stop. Braking wastes from the combustion of energy that you have already burned, and accelerating after braking consumes more fuel than driving at a constant speed. Tune your engine. A properly tuned engine maximizes power and can greatly improve energy efficiency. Attention, however, that many tuners will disable efficiency measures at the power setting. Replace your fuel filter according to your schedule recommended by the manufacturer. It will be a long way to improving energy efficiency. Avoid excessive idling. The best way to warm a vehicle is to drive slowly until it reaches the proper operating temperature. Try to avoid using the air conditioner in stop and go into town because it causes the engine to work harder and consume more fuel. However, studies show that high-speed cars get slightly better mileage with the AC on and windows closed. The drag caused by the windows rolled at high speed reduces fuel efficiency more than the AC. Use synthetic oil in your car to save on average 5% of gas. Remember to change it according to manufacturer's recommendations for vehicle oil. Extended intervals of oil can be detrimental to the life of your engine and fuel economy is the loss of benefits that the oil is dirty. If you cannot use synthetic, choose the lightest possible, oil, 15-30 rather than 20-50. When you change your oil, use an additive to synthetic oil, natural or synthetic oil. This can increase your gas mileage by up to 15% if you follow the manufacturer's instructions and recommended use. If your car has an automatic transmission with overdrive, make sure to activate the overdrive except when towing heavy trailers. Overdrive is activated by default on the "D" on most joysticks. Many cars have buttons on the joystick, which allow you to disable the overdrive gear. Overdrive saves you the gas mileage at higher speeds by using a lower ratio of engine speed to wheel speed - which puts the engine at one point operating more efficient (by reducing losses flow, etc.). Learn to look and forecasting of traffic lights. Stop-and-go is a waste of drive. Do not circle in a parking lot, and stay out of the store fronts. Look for a place in the empty half of the parking lot. Many people spend a lot of time idling and creeping, waiting for a "close up" to open. Keep a journal over time how many miles you go (the odometer) and how much you put in the gas (the gas pumps, including fractions). It will keep you focused, and other methods are inaccurate, you will never know if you save fuel, wasting fuel or just to see the errors of gasoline pumps stop pumping at various points, miles or fractions of falling on your "trip" odometer when you reset.
