"Hi! I'm Brian, a mechanic at Rony's Car Pros in Culver City, California and I am here on behalf of Expert Village to talk to you about fuel efficiency. One way is to avoid unnecessary stops. You can take your time coming to the stop sign and take your foot off the gas way back. That way you can slow down when coming to a complete stop. Coming to a complete stop wastes a lot more gas than accelerating 5 to 10 miles per hour. Also, get to know your routes and your driving situation. This will also help you save time and gas and give you better gas efficiency. "
