Tips for all drivers

Drive like a Hypermiler

Drive conservatively

• Aggressive driving (speeding and rapid acceleration braking) can lower your gas mileage by as much as 20%.
• Glide to stops and accelerate slowly and evenly.

Drive consistently

• Spend as much time at the same speed as possible. Mileage is worst during acceleration.
• Use cruise control whenever possible.

Slow down

• Each 5 miles per hour you drive over 60 mph can reduce your fuel economy by 10%.

Don't sit idle

• Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Turn the engine off when stopped for extended periods of time.

Check your tire pressure

• Keeping tires inflated to the recommended pressure can improve fuel economy by up to 5%.

Unload your trunk The more weight you carry, the more energy required to move it.

Treat your automatic like a manual When you're stuck in traffic or waiting at a red light, drop your transmission into neutral to bring your engine's standing RPMs as low as possible

• Keep the window up over 50 miles per hour.
• Combine chores and trips. An engine runs most efficiently when warmed up.
