Since gasoline prices continue to rise, here are some simple tips you can use to help increase your gas mileage:

1. Ensure your tires are inflated to the recommended pressure.
2. Consider replacing your air filter if you haven’t done so in a while.
3. Accelerate slowly while driving and when approaching traffic lights, take your foot off the gas and coast towards the stop rather than braking. Braking is wasted energy.
4. Plan the most efficient route to your destination, one with the flattest terrain and the fewest stops.
5. Put the windows down while driving in the city and use the A/C less. However, when highway driving it may be more efficient to leave the A/C on and close the windows as driving at high speeds with the windows down may cause additional drag.
6. Use your cruise control when on the highway.
7. Plan a route to accomplish all your errands, a cold engine consumes more gas.
8. Eliminate unnecessary cargo to lessen the weight of your vehicle.
9. Drive highways rather than city streets and keep to the speed limit.
10. Avoid unnecessary idling.
