Try These Things To Save Gas

By Dan Sewinski

Let's face it: With gas prices on the rise more and more car drivers are asking themselves how they can save gas without buying a new car that would use less fuel. Surprisingly there are many things you can do without sacrificing too much.

Many consumers turn to products that promise better gas mileage, only to be disappointed. Others believe that they must buy a smaller vehicle or sell their current one, due to the expensive fuel problem.

No too many people know that there are very effective ways to use less gas in your car - without any technical modifications. Sometimes it is very small things that can have a substantial impact on gas usage and milage of your good old car.

Indeed, some of the easiest ways to increase your gas mileage are right under your nose when you drive - literally! Read on to find out how some of the features in your car can help you save gas!

One of the simplest gas-saving devices your car has already built-in is the cruise control device. Originally made to make it easier for drivers to hold a constant speed over a long distance, the cruise control turns out to be an excellent fuel-saving mechanism.

For instance, many people have earned themselves speeding tickets by having a heavy foot that got out of control, but with the cruise control set, you can drive at a consistent speed without glancing at the gauge every three seconds!

The cruise control will save you gas because it keeps you from all the small 'acceleration boosts' that we perform almost subconciously while driving. Drivers tend to overreact when accelerating and when breaking. As a result alot of energy and gas is being wasted.

Whenever you car accelerates the engine uses way more gas. The more sudden and intense the acceleration process the more gas is used.

Are you frequently looking at your miles-per-hour gauge? If you are like most drivers you only do that when your know there is a chance you could get a speeding ticket.

After all, the higher your car is running in the RPM range, the harder your engine is working. If you do drive a stick, make sure that you are changing gears before you get too high in the RPM range, and use your higher gears at a consistent speed whenever possible!

Turn off any additional devices that use electricity. The biggest energy waster is the air-condition! Most people have it turned on by default wether they need it or not and are not aware that it uses much more gas.

As you can see, these are some fairly simple ways to take a little of the pain of filling up your car's gas tank away. In addition to that devices are available that will improve the efficiency of your engine substantially.
