Fuelly Tip

Watch Your RPM's

Despite common belief speed is not really connected to MPG. The Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) of your car's engine is what really matters.

If your car has a Tachometer watch your RPM's, keeping them low will use less fuel. Depending on the gearing of your transmission is what determines how fast you travel at a certain RPM.
