These are for everyone who drives. Nothing difficult, drastic or scary about any of these:
- SLOW DOWN - Drive the speed limit or less depending on road conditions.
- Anticipate traffic. Keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle ahead, do not tailgate.
- Keep your vehicle in mechanically proper condition
- Properly inflate tires to sidewall pressure on tire, Not the door placard pressure. (I always thought this was a no-brainer. How would the door placard know what kind of tires you have anyway???)
- Plan trips. Do not make random runs to stores, plan a round trip to all the places you need to go.
- Plan not to drive at least one day a week.
- Just park and walk to the store don’t circle the parking lot looking for the closest spot.
For others who actually want to try for good mileage and are a bit more daring:
- DWB
- DWL
- FAS up to lights and stop signs
- Fuel economy instrumentation
- Warm-up driving not idling
- P&G
- Vehicle aero modifications
