Changes in acceleration including speeding, harsh braking, and having a lead foot will use more gas. To improve gas mileage, try to drive the speed limit and use the gas pedal gently. Maintain enough space between you and the car ahead to avoid harsh braking. Also, be conscious of traffic lights and conditions to avoid heavy acceleration or urgent stops.
Leaving your car on once parked wastes gas! To avoid wasting gas and money when the car is idle, turn the car off. Only turn the engine, air conditioning, and radio on when you are ready to drive somewhere. This ensures that you will get the most mileage out of the gas.
Michigan weather can get hot in the summer and many people use their car’s air conditioning to keep cool. However, you waste gas when you blast that AC. To save gas, open your windows or use the air conditioning on a low setting. This will allow you to keep cool while still saving money and improving gas mileage.
