go, you can have some control over how often you need to fill up your gas tank.
You can
start by keeping your tires inflated properly. Your car has a guide right on
the driver's door frame. Tires that aren't maintained can decrease your mileage by 5%
to 10%.
If your car
has an economy feature, leave it on. Dome cars have idle start and stop
technology. Others have an eco-button.
You may find them annoying, but turning them off will decrease your mileage by
another 5%.
Finally,
get organized. If you're driving around with a lot of stuff in the trunk,
you're depleting your mileage. Extra weight in the trunk will cost
you seven miles a gallon.
You should
also always stay up to date on your oil changes, don’t speed and pay with
cash at the pump.
