5 Steps to Improve Fuel Efficient Driving Habits
To learn how to be fuel efficient on the streets of Stratham, follow these 5 simple steps to learn how you can save fuel while driving on hills, on the highway, and in the city:
- Accelerate Softly: Practice accelerating more slowly. This will allow the vehicle's momentum to do some of the work in speeding you up, and take some of the burden off of the engine.
- Plan Ahead for Traffic: We said we had tips for stop-go-traffic. To be blunt, we recommend avoiding it altogether. Next time you're at work, see if you can negotiate with your boss and leave earlier in the day to avoid rush hour.
- Avoid High Speeds on the Highway: Avoid high-speeds. Cars use more fuel when traveling at higher speeds. We recommend staying within 55 mph and 65 mph on the highway to optimize your fuel economy.
- Coast to a Stop: Hard braking makes your engine work harder to adapt the random drops in speed. Try coasting to a stop instead.
- Use Air Conditioning Sparingly: Your air conditioner can increase your car's fuel consumption by as much as 20%. Rather than blasting it continuously, use it sparingly, and then use the "recirculate" feature to keep the cold air you generated in your car.
