Improve My Gas Mileage - How to Improve My Gas Mileage

Want to know how improve gas mileage? You might be thinking, "to improve my gas mileage" is impossible, but there actually are many ways to improve gas mileage. Below are tips that will help increase your mileage. With the way gas prices keep rising so quickly, any tips that help improve gas mileage are worth taking.

PCV valve and breather filter once a year or every 12,000 miles. This can improve gas mileage by up to 15 percent.

Replace fuel filter.

Replace a bad oxygen sensor. This can save you up to six trips to the gas pump a year.

Keep your tires inflated. Under-inflated tires run hotter and waste gas. When tire pressure is low, the vehicle must exert more energy. Under inflated tires cause more friction between the tire and the road thus using more gas.

Obviously, don't use premium fuel if not required.

Replace your gas cap and consider one with a lock. A bad seal can waste $50 in gas a year due to evaporation.

Avoid excessive idling. It will waste gas.

Let your vehicle warm up for a minute or two before driving... especially in summer.

Go the speed limit. Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph.

And if all possible, combine errands into one trip. Avoid carrying unneeded heavy items; an extra 100 pounds in your car or truck can cut fuel efficiency by 1 or 2 percent.

Also, did you know you can run your car on gas and water... and it is better for your car? This improves gas mileage way more than anything listed above. To read more about this, check on this link ... http://www.provennaturalcures.com/hydrogengassaver.html
