Drive to Save Money
Try using some of these energy-efficient driving practices to save some cash:
- Drive at a steady pace.
- Warm up your car for only a minimal amount of time.
- Don't "rev up" your engine.
- Drive below 55 MPH – speeding costs you money.
- Coast in gear when slowing down.
Additional Information:
- According to the U.S. Department of Energy, for each 5 mph you drive over 55 mph, you lose 6% of efficiency. That's a whopping 24% if you drive 75 mph. For example, if your gasoline costs you $3.23 per gallon, you're really paying closer to $4 per gallon.
