I improve my gas mileage, without spending a dime, by up to 40%! I don’t spend any money to do it, but I end up effectively saving almost half on what I spend on gasoline!

The first step to improve gas mileage is to figure out just how many miles you are getting already. This is done with a simple gas mileage calculator. By dividing the number of miles driven by how many gallons used, you’ll come up with an accurate gas mileage.

The next step to improve my gas mileage was basic maintenance on my car. By checking my oil and air filter, I can get up to 10% better gas mileage. Sludgy oil makes your engine work harder, using more gas.

I can further improve my gas mileage another 5% by making sure I have a clean air filter. Clogged or dirty air filters interfere with the oxygen in my engine needs. This results in poor combustion and uses more gas.

A big boost to improve my gas mileage is by insuring my tires are properly inflated. Tires with low air pressure are harder to roll, again making the engine work harder to move the car. I make it a point to check my tire pressure every time I get a fill up.

I can also improve my gas mileage by reducing the weight in my car. My mileage goes up by 1% for every 50 pounds I take out of the car. This makes for a good excuse to clean the trunk and backseat.

One of the biggest gas mileage improvements comes from, how and when I drive. By doing my errands during off-peak hours, I avoid stop-and-go traffic, congestion, and idling, using up gas without even going anywhere.

I manage to improve my gas mileage by almost 40% this way. I simply combine basic core and maintenance, with a little bit of planning, and common sense driving. By putting these altogether, I can go and nearly twice as long between fill ups, which means I am effectively paying 40% less for gas. And at today’s gas prices, that is a lot of money!
