Did you guys know it takes 60-90 days to refine gas??? That means that the $75 oil hasn't even been made into gas yet and reached the pumps!!!! Just wait until july when we all want to drive to our favorite fishing spot and its gonna cost us $5+ per gallon. There are a few things that do work to help save some gas.
-Slow down on the highway, cars are designed to run efficiently around 65 to 70mph so anything over that is just wasteful
-Every 100lbs extra in your car takes 1% of your mileage, so throw the kids out the window
-Accelerate slow, that burns a ton of gas
-If you're at a dead stop for a long time (Gridlock, Parking lot, waiting for someone) shut the engine off, start up does take a lot of gas but it is equivalent to 38 seconds or something like that of idle time
-No AC, roll down the windows
I drive a '99 minivan with a 19 city and 23 highway and i get 22 avg for all the driving i do everywhere using these tips.
