Many people think that the prices that they pay for miles per gallon of gas are final. They don’t realize that there are ways to improve the MPGs on a vehicle and save money. Here are several ways to improve your mileage, so that your car gets more MPGs and wastes less fuel.

Drive More Efficiently

To take better advantage of fuel efficiency, drive more efficiently. People who drive recklessly or more than necessary will waste more gas. You may accelerate too hard or too often, or drive longer routes when there may be available shortcuts. Poor driving causes you to use more fuel than necessary.

Also, if you will be idling more than 10 seconds turn off your car to save gas. If you’ll only be idling for 5 to 10 seconds, leave the car running or you’ll waste fuel.

Get Regular Car Maintenance

A well-maintained car is your key to good fuel efficiency. When the car doesn’t leak, you don’t waste the fluids that it needs to function properly. Without proper lubrication, the car parts dry up and break down easily in rough conditions. When the entire vehicle is working properly, you make the best use of your fuel tank.

Pay Attention to Parking

Most drivers don’t know that they should pay attention to where they park their cars. If the fuel tank gets too hot, the gasoline can evaporate into the air, and that goes for other fluids in the car. So, you end up paying for gas that you never use. Parking in areas where the fuel does not evaporate and become unusable.
