Easy ways to spend less on gas
You do not need extreme hypermiling tricks to reduce fuel spending. Consistency matters more.
Keep tires at the recommended pressure
Use the pressure listed on the vehicle placard, not the maximum pressure printed on the tire sidewall.
Plan trips efficiently
Combining errands can reduce cold starts and unnecessary miles.
Drive smoothly
Avoiding unnecessary hard acceleration and braking can reduce wasted energy and may also reduce wear.
Remove unnecessary weight
Heavy cargo and exterior accessories can increase the energy needed to move the vehicle.
Keep up with maintenance
Address check-engine lights and maintenance items that can affect drivability or efficiency.
Track the trend: Comparing several tanks of fuel is more useful than judging efficiency from a single fill-up.
