If you are one of the people who’s looking to improve your fuel economy but who might not be ready to buy a new car just yet, that’s great! We have put together this blog post to give you some tips on getting better MPG’s in the vehicle you have through some simple driving tricks. Check them out!

The first thing is not to speed – not even on the Northway. It’s illegal for starters and it does absolutely nothing for your fuel economy. Stay close to the speed limit while still keeping up with the flow of traffic.

When you are on the highway, if it’s not too busy and the roads are clear, use your cruise control. With highway driving, there can be a lot of accidental acceleration and deceleration, and using cruise eliminates that. It also helps you stay closer to the speed limit!

When you’re not on the highway, make sure you don’t idle your vehicle. If you’re stopping somewhere, just turn off your car. Not only will you save gas, but you’ll save the environment too!

If you have any racks or boxes on your roof, consider switching to something that is mounted on the rear of your vehicle. It keeps your vehicle aerodynamic, reducing drag and keeping your MPG’s up.

The last tip is to focus on safety. When you’re paying attention to how well you’re driving, you’re driving more safely. Don’t be distracted by other drivers, your music, your passengers, or anything else. Focus on the road and driving safely and you’ll get better mileage. It’s magic!

NOTE: These tips won’t get your mileage to go from 25 to 75. They’ll help you go from 25 to, like, 29. This is not a miracle guide, it’s just an efficiency guide.
