to bad here in most city’s walking one mile is very dangerous, coming from a country you walk everywhere, even to go grocery shopping, i was sad to see that most of the time is to dangerous to walk here. More than once people stopped to see if we as a family are okay while taking a sunday afternoon stroll

Inertia driving:
it is more energy efficient to coast up hills than to accelerate up hills. I accelerate down hill and coast up hill. On distance driving my speed will vary from 35 mph to 90 mph. I gamble when
exceeding speed limits but I pay less for gas.
I often drive 90 miles at 50 – 55 mph, posted at 60 mph. Using Inertia, I average 2 mph more over thisdistance and driving 50 – 55 adds another 4 to 5 mph.

I think the “no driving within one mile” is really a good idea. So simple to implement.

I have adjusted the tire air pressure and it made a huge difference…

i think that not blasting it on the freeway is always the best option or to take public transport!

so far as my knowledge something about biofuel, after two years and see where fuel comes from we have to get the most out of every gallon. America has to realise that big cars are a thing of the 20th century.

@ktk Driving slowly works on the reverse. In fact it consumes more fuel.

Also, if you’re stuck in a heavy traffic, you’ll consume more fuel.
So plan your trips and avoid rush hour.
Cheers!

I can confirm the need to make sure tires have the right psi. I drive a 150 scooter and was logging about 45 miles per gallon for about a month. Then I checked the tires and found them to be at 15 psi when they were supposed to be at 36 psi. AFter the switch the mpg shot up to 80 mpg. Wow.

There are also some new GPS Navigation units that have a feature called ecoRoute that can give you a route designed to optimize your fuel consumption. I personally own the Garmin 1350LMT and have been very satisfied with the ecoRoute feature as well as the device overall.

Interesting info on using cruse control. I wouldn’t have thought that it made much of an effect but 5% better fuel efficiency is a lot, especially over long distances.

Actually I know something about biofuel, technologies are at an advancedÿ stage but not yet commercialised. Wait two years and see where fuel comes from, you might be suprised, but it won’t be available in such quantities as the middle east can provide so we have to get the most out of every gallon. America has to realise that big cars are a thing of the 20th century – ie history. If your car doesnt get 40-50 mpg or more then it’s out of date.
