New, more fuel-efficient, car? Nope, I'm commuting in the same old Volvo S60 that has seen better days. Same dent in the right rear door. Same old Cheerios wedged under the child safety seat in back. (Yeah, I know. I'll get to it, Honey). So how did I do it? I'm trying to learn to drive more efficiently, and little by little, it's working. With a few simple changes, you can easily squeeze more gas mileage out of the car you're already driving.

Learning about this subject will help you more in the long run than you may realize, until the time comes when you really need it.

I've tacit you finish 55 percent of the time driving in the city and 45 percent driving on the highway. I rented those assumptions from the formula EPA uses to assess the mileage of new cars. with the regular value of a gallon of gas as of June 12 ($4.05, according to AAA) and haughty you drive 15,000 miles a year (according to EPA guesss), I assessd what each tip would salvage in a year. The records aren't a unspoiled prediction -- I have no idea what you drive, or what's in your body -- but they do supply an interesting perspective.

If the light's on, make the appointment now. It could pay for itself very rateily.
