Ten Fuel Saving Tips
It is very important that everyone strive to
save gasoline in the
Motor Pool cars. Below are some good tips to
help reduce
gasoline consumption in our vehicles.
1. Drive Smoothly. Avoid heavy acceleration
or braking. Speeding, rapid acceleration and
braking can lower gasoline mileage by 5% at
lower speeds and around town and by 33% at
highway speeds.
2. Make sure tires are not over or under
inflated. Correct pressure can improve
gasoline mileage by 3%.
3. Remove excess weight.
4. Use cruise control on major roads and in
free-flowing traffic. Maintaining a constant
speed can improve mileage.
5. Avoid idling. When drivers idle, they get
zero miles per gallon.
6. Avoid higher speeds. Gasoline mileage
decreases when driving at high speeds.
7. Plan outings to avoid separate trips.
8. Use the proper grade of gasoline -
Regular Unleaded or Ethanol. Never use mid
or high grade gasoline.
