Fuel economy for Cars


 

Hi all, for our general info please.... According to this chart from Eartheasy.com,                                 the most fuel-efficient speed for your car                                  is roughly 55 mph, or 90 km/h. Increasing                                   your speed from 55 mph to 75 mph boosts your                                fuel consumption a stunning 20 percent!                                                                                                                 You can boost your vehicle's fuel efficiency                                by as much as 30 percent simply by keeping                                  it well maintained and driving it correctly.                                Here are a few suggestions:                                                                                                                             Avoid jackrabbit starts, tailgating, or                                     pumping the gas pedal. Starts and stops                                     increase fuel consumption dramatically.                                     Take advantage of cruise control whenever                                   possible -- driving at a steady speed saves                                 fuel.                                                                       Try to avoid idling your car for more than a                                minute.                                                                     Keep your tires inflated and switch to                                      radial, if you haven't already.                                             Reduce drag by keeping your windows rolled                                  up, removing unused bike racks, and emptying                                your trunk.                                                                                                                                             Optimal fuel efficiency varies from car to                                  car, so check your manual for more                                          suggestions. The best option, of course, is                                 simply to drive less. You can do this by                                    planning trips ahead of time to avoid peak                                  traffic hours or doing your errands a little                                closer to home.
