How to Easily Increase Your Gas Mileage

With the ever increasing cost of fuel gas mileage is becoming an important concern to a lot of people. Mileage is determined by how many miles you can travel on one gallon of gas and the higher the number the better.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. An important thing to do to increase your gas mileage is to maintain your tire's air pressure. Air pressure is determined by how much air is in your tire and you want to make sure that you keep that at the recommended level. Having the wrong level can cause you to use more gas and have a lower mileage so it is important.

2. Another thing you can do to increase mileage is to carpool with other people as much as possible. This is a good option because you are not using any of the gas in your car and are still traveling, plus it is good for the environment.

3. The third tip for you may be a little more difficult but it is to avoid traffic. Sitting in traffic and being in stop and go traffic is terrible for your mileage. Open roads and "good" interstate travel is best for your mileage.
