CarMax Experts Provide Advice on How to Improve Your Gas Mileage
![](http://www.theautochannel.com/news/2007/11/07/069915.1.jpg)
[/align]RICHMOND, Va., Nov. 7, 2007 -- With the national gas price over three dollars per gallon, CarMax, Inc. , the nation's largest retailer of used cars, has advice to help you save money on gas for your vehicle.
"Even though gas prices have become a burden, there are still ways to save money on fuel," said ASE Certified Master Technicians Juan Crespo and Todd Gartner. "Maintaining your vehicle and driving it efficiently can assist with improving your gas mileage and decrease fuel spending." Here are some "car-wise" tips from CarMax experts:
1. Drive Efficiently
-- Drive the speed limit: gas mileage decreases at higher speeds.
-- Don't drive aggressively: speeding, quick acceleration and excessive
braking all waste gas. Driving aggressively lowers gas mileage both
on the highway and when driving around town.
-- Use overdrive and cruise control: If your vehicle has a manual
overdrive, make sure it is ON; overdrive reduces engine speed, which
helps to save gas. Cruise control also saves gas by maintaining a
consistent speed.
-- Avoid idling: idling for longer than 30 seconds uses more gas than
starting up your engine.
2. Maintain your Vehicle
-- Get the manufacturer's recommended maintenance done: keeping your
car in shape improves gas mileage.
-- Make sure your tires are filled to the correct pressure: this can
increase gas mileage by three percent. Always refer to the
manufacturer's specifications.
-- Whenever possible, use synthetic oil: look for "Energy Conserving"
motor oil; it will reduce friction and increase fuel economy.
-- Check and replace dirty air filters: clogged filters can decrease
gas mileage up to 10 percent.
3. Plan Ahead
-- Combine errands: this will save time, money and gas.
-- Carpool: carpooling and ride sharing can cut weekly gas costs in
half.
-- Remove excess weight: excess weight in the cab or trunk can reduce
mileage. Every extra 100 pounds reduces fuel economy by
approximately two percent.
-- Eliminate excess wind resistance: roof racks and carrier crates on
the top of the car create drag or wind resistance. Removing these
items can increase fuel economy by about five percent.
-- Use air conditioning when traveling at highway speeds: driving with
the windows open uses more fuel due to the increased drag.
-- Fill up your car in the morning: early morning is the best time
because the gasoline is cooler and denser. Since gas pumps measure
volumes of gas and not densities, you get more fuel for your money.

We are pass "Peak Oil" which means we have used more than half of the Earth's oil reserves. Until there is alternative that can be produced in high volume, gas prices will continue to rise a $1 a gallon each year from here out, or should I say that depends on China... because if China doubles it drivers in the next 3-years (like the think) gas couldgo up $3 a gallon each year thereafter.
