With oil prices reaching record prices, saving gas is now more important than ever before. You don’t have to throw away your car in favor of a bicycle if you follow these simple fuel saving tips to improve your gas mileage.

Keep That Tank Full:

Some people may wince at the idea of paying top dollar for a full tank of gas, but you actually save a lot more gasoline if you spare the extra money to load a full tank. A full tank means that you take less trips to a gas station. Many late-model cars also operate more efficiently with a full tank of gas. While you may end up saving pennies for every gas station trip, the value all adds up per gallon.

Maintain Your Engine:

Old and dirty engines use up more fuel than clean engines. A lot of fuel is lost and wasted because of the debris that clogs up the engine. Excess heat can also contribute to fuel inefficiency, because the substances in gasoline can decompose because of high temperatures. If your engine is caked with a lot of dirt and debris, you need to pour on some engine degreaser to loosen up and remove the dirt and debris baked into the engine block.

Don’t Floor The Pedal:

Having a heavy foot on the accelerator will waste a lot of fuel. Unless you drive an old car and you have to floor the gas pedal to get a response, it’s best to keep a light foot on the accelerator. There are times that you need to floor the gas pedal, especially if you’re moving out of a sharp curve. The trick is to keep very light pressure on the gas pedal, just enough to feed a steady amount of fuel to the engine. Only push the pedal to the metal when you need it.

Take Advantage of Water for Fuel Technology:

Using hybrid water technology is simply operating your vehicle using gas and water as a source of fuel. This can be done by using a device that coverts water to energy with the help of your car battery. The car battery acts as a conductor that electrolyze the water that produces a gas called “HHO” which then produces the energy to operate your car. You can improve fuel efficiency by 50% using this type of technology.
