RSSKnow the MPG of your car and save fuel cost
 |
Economy is rough today. Gasoline prices are skyrocketing. And people are finding ways to minimize the fuel costs. A lot of people’s inclination towards water gas conversion kits and hydrogen powered vehicles is the evidence that they are no more willing to compromise by still using gasoline. These are the common ways to cut the costs but do you know that by improving your driving habits, you can actually save a lot of energy and your hard earned money?
First of all, look at the route which you drive on. If you are driving the same route to work, school etc, pay attention to the possible routes which include less traffic. This is because your car’s mpg is going to differentiate on the highway and rural roads. You don’t tend to stop as much in the highways as you do in rural areas and busy routes.
Next, take a look at your car and try to figure out your MPG (miles per gallon) your gas tank is. This will give you a fair idea on how far you can travel until you get close to empty.
To figure out the MPG of your car, reset on of your trip odometers so that it reads 0. This should be done when you are filling up at the pump. Use your arithmetic skill. When you fill up at the pump, note down the miles you drove and how many gallons you filled up at the pump. The number of gallons will be displayed on the pump.
The number will change every time you fill up at the pump. However, make sure that the number shouldn’t change much.
Keep an eye on the MPG of your car and you will be able to save a lot of money!
