Gas prices are rising. How can I go further between fill ups?
9 Jul 2004

Since gas prices are rising, I bet all of you are thinking about how you can get better gas mileage.  You may have seen some magic devices on TV that claim your car can get 25%+ better fuel efficiency.

The facts are that these products do not work. 

Here are some tips that can help you keep going farther.

  1. Check your tires every week for proper air pressure.
  2. Remove extra junk in your trunk.  Why haul your junk around?
  3. Keep your car tuned up.
  4. Avoid driving at excessive speeds and jack rabbit starts.  Take it easy.
  5. Do you really need to use air conditioning?
