GAS PRICES HAVE YOU FRUSTRATED????????
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO HELP YOU GET BETTER GAS MILEAGE:

*Drive Sensibly– Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration, braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 3 percent on
the highway and 5 percent around town.

*Remove excess weight - Avoid keeping unnecessary items
In your vehicle, especially heavy ones.

*Avoid excessive idling - Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars
with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines

*Use cruise control - Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed and in most cases, will save gas

*Fill your gas tank when it is half empty or half full - The more gas you have in your tank the less air is occupying its space.

*Only buy gas or fill your tank early in the morning - The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline. When you fill up in the afternoon your gallon is not really a gallon

*When you are filling up, do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to fast mode - If you are pumping on the fast mode , some of the liquid
going into your tank becomes vapor. So use the slow mode when pumping your gas
