Re: Since gas prices are so high.. [Re: Adden]

most automobiles get about 28% more gas milage driving at 50 MPH than 70 mph and 21% at 55mph vs. 70mph

at speed of greater than 40mph it is more fuel efficient to drive with the air conditionar on and windows up because of the air drag effect.

the Environment Protection Agency shows it is more ecconomical to turn the engine off if you plan on staying idle for more than 60 seconds.

underinflated tires waste as much as one gallon out of every 20 gallons of gas. greater fuel economy can be achieved if you inflate the tires to the maximume air pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire.

Yeah, running your A/C kills your gas mileage.


Yes, it does. I remember driving to Colorado (from Illinois) with my family, my dad refused to use the air for the majority of the trip for that reason.

I was listening to Bill Hicks and he said his dad said the same thing... gave me a good laugh.

So opening your windows is worse than A/C for gas? I always thought it was the other way around.

AWesome tip man.

A cold air intake helps with milage too, although only slightly.

Use your cruise control whenever possible.



It's surprising to me that this helps gas mileage. In fact, I thought it was the reverse.

I think I'm going to quit my job. I can't afford to drive anymore.

I thought ahead and bought a little VW diesel that gets 50mpg.


That's like getting 25mpg and buying fuel for $1.50/gal.


Does anybody here remember $1.50/gal gas?

I wish I had done as Bill Maher did and bought a Prius. It's not that pretty, but it's starting to look better and better every day.
