We are all *issed about high prices at the pump but rifle off any ideas on how to save fuel while driving or other. Here is what I know.
1. Accelrate easy.
2. Drive slower, 55-60 instead of 70. (this has saved me 10%).
3. Does synthetic oil help? (dont really know)
4. Fuel additives,? Octane booster?
5. I talked to a guy yesterday that said he gets 5% better fuel economy with 93 octane then 87 in his 2007 F-150 truck. (might be true)
6. Used motor oil in diesel fuel? Other postings have been made on this.
7. properly inflated tires.
8. coast up to red lights, stop signs.
9. I have the instant on head lights, I turn those off right after starting the car in the daytime.
10. Does tailgating someone on the freeway help? less wind resistance
If you have anything to add to these ideas please share, I drive 50 miles/day the wifey drives 80 miles/day.
