A car uses energy to transport itself, its riders, and anything else inside it. Cleaning out your trunk and other areas of unnecessary clutter can help reduce this burden.
Stop-and-go traffic wastes gas, but so does excessive speeding. Keeping your car between 30-55 mph when safe and legal to do so helps get the most out of your fuel.
Thinking about how you will get where you're going, as well as when you leave, can help avoid ugly traffic and stick to roads that let you maintain a better cruising speed.
Preparing for an action like an upcoming turn or lane change will help you execute the move more smoothly.Unnecessary accelerating and braking may not seem like a big deal, but the fuel cost of these moves adds up.

Routine tune-ups and service are an easily-overlooked way to save big money driving.A well-maintained car will not only run more efficiently, but is also at a much lower risk of needing serious repairs later.
You can never save more money on a product than by not buying it in the first place.Whenever possible, look for cheap and eco-friendly alternatives like walking, biking, carpooling, and public transit.
