Increase Your Gas Mileage

Gas Gas and More Gas. It's crazy how high gas has risen and is steady climbing. I have a few tips that may help you get more gas mileage for your money.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Car, Truck or SUV or whatever you drive.
  • Gas
  1. Step 1

    Slow down.
    The faster you drive, the more gas you use. Did you know for every mile you go over the speed limit you lower your gas mileage.

  2. Step 2

    Get a tune up.

  3. Step 3

    See that your tires are properly inflated.

  4. Step 4

    Back up less.

  5. Step 5

    Coast. Next time you're approaching a red light, take your foot off the gas and coast a little.

  6. Step 6

    Go to Walmart
    Instead of making multiple trips to the market, pharmacy or where ever else you have to go. Plan on making one trip to do all your shopping. As if you didn't already know that you can go to a Walmart Supercenter and shop for grocery, clothing, prescriptions, you can even get a eye exam at some Supercenters, car tune up, get your tires air pressure checked and get your oil changed; ALL IN ONE TRIP..you can also purchase a Gift Card from Walmart and save 3 cents on a gallon of gas.

  7. Step 7

    Lighten your load
    All the unnecessary stuff you have loading your trunk down is also taking away from your gas. The lighter the load the less gas you'll burn.
