With today’s fuel prices, fuel efficiency is important.  Here are a few tips to get the most out of your fuel:

Keep your vehicle well maintained

• Keep your engine properly tuned
• Make sure your tires are properly inflated
• Use the recommended grade of motor oil
• Use the proper octane level

Drive more efficiently

• Observe the posted speed limit – Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 miles per hour
• Remove excess weight
• Avoid excess Idling
• Use your cruise control
• Use overdrive gears
• Don’t drive aggressively
• Avoid packing items on top of your vehicle

Purchase a more fuel efficient vehicle

• The difference between a car that gets 20 MPG and one that gets 30 MPG amounts to $990 per year (assuming 15,000 miles of driving annually and a fuel cost of $3.96). That’s $4,950 extra in fuel costs over five years
• Alternative Fuel Vehicles
• Hybrid Electric Vehicles
