- Cruise Control – Utilizing cruise control on the highway will maximize your car’s fuel efficiency.
- Avoid Heavy Loads – The heavier you haul, the more power you require, which increases the amount of fuel used.
- Air Conditioning – Use your air conditioning as sparingly as possible, as the air conditioner puts stress on your engine.
- Winter Heaters – If possible during the winter months use a block heater to warm your car up, as cold engines burn more fuel.
