12 ways to get better gas milage

12 Ways to Get Better Gas Mileage

1 fill up less often.
2 measure your fuel mileage
3 dont drive aggressively
4 remove excess weight
5 avoid traffic
6 tire pressure
7 tire alignment
8 the A/C vs. window down debate
9 shift at lower engine speed (manual transmissions)
10 drive slow
11 dont try to accelerate up a hill
12 coast
13 use RUG
14 buy a honda

We have multiple topics on everyone of these.
It come no where near rivaling our master wiki list.

The only 2 that catch my attention for thinking out side the box that the news outlets think from inside are tire alignment and just making mention of coasting.
If you have a VW or Audi with a turbo gas motor absolutly do not use RUG unless you really like visiting your dealership and giving them money.
