Here goes:-http://cometo.know.googlepages.com/10_ways_to_save_car_fuel Didn't think much of it. It didn't mention the biggest variable- driving style. The biggest things you can do are; Stay at speed limit. Aero losses are substantial at highway speeds, and build up as square of velocity. An approximation, using the binomial theorem, is that a five percent change in speed leads to a ten percent increase in fuel consumption. Stay off of brakes. Two things will help you do this. First, don't drive with attention fixed forty feet ahead of car- look ahead down the road. If you see the light ahead is red, don't roar up to it and brake hard. Coast, use brakes sparingly, see if you can arrive just as it changes so you don't need to come to a complete stop. Increase your following distance. Something called "transport lag" says the closer two cars are driving together, the harder the following one has to brake to match speed of leader. You can see this on the highway- the tailgater is using his brakes far more than people who are not. If you have a stick shift car, shift early but keep throttle reasonably far open- say 50 to 60 percent, while accelerating. > On Oct 21, 4:30 am, sophialo...@gmail.com wrote: >> With the rising price of gas here are some tips to reduce you fuel [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Didn't think much of it.

Many of us drive because we fail to plan, and we are too lazy to walk or bike. > > On Oct 21, 4:30 am, sophialo...@gmail.com wrote: > >> With the rising price of gas here are some tips to reduce you fuel [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > we fail to plan, > and we are too lazy to walk or bike.

But those petrol saving tips were kind of pathetic. Petrol prices have always been going up endlessly, if someone's gonna start scrimping now, why didn't they do it 10 years ago? Why didn't they do it since they first bought a car? Are they really going to keep their boot cleared out for the rest of their life? It doesn't make any sense in the big picture. > On Oct 23, 3:53 am, cuhu...@webtv.net wrote: >> I would like to know about that freebie.
