Here is the latest little nugget from David Bach about your driving habits and saving money (which we could all use these days).
Maintenance Matters-
-Keep your tires properly inflated
Having your tires inflated to the right pressure can increase your mpg by up to 3 percent, saving you up to 10 per gallon of fuel.
-Don’t haul around unnecessary weight
What are you storing in your trunk? Unnecessary cargo weighs down your car and reduces your mpg.
-Get a tune up
Installing a clear air filter protects your engine and can increase your fuel economy by up to 10%, which translates to as much as 32 cents per gallon.
-Don’t drive like a maniac
Aggressive acceleration and braking can reduce your highway mileage by a third (wow!). Driving over 60 mph can cost you 20 cents per gallon of gas for every 5 mph increase.
Interesting stuff huh?
Which one of these do you think you can do to save some money?
