Fuel Saving Tips

The Power of Coasting

Don't forget that when you're coasting, your car isn't using fuel. The car's momentum is actually turning the motor with the friction your tires have on the road. Make sure to reclaim some of the energy you spent to get your vehicle moving by coasting. Pay attention to stoplights ahead, learn the light patterns, and you can easily bump your AVG MPG by at least 5. The more braking, the more you're decreasing your fuel economy by turning that energy into heated brakes. Don't waste the energy you spent getting up that hill by excessively braking while going down. Drive safe, but keep that fuel economy in mind!
