Driving on tour is getting more and more expensive. One of the Realtors at this morning's meeting passed $100 when he filled up his tank. We plan to add more drivers to our tour group...maybe that will help. In our profession, carpooling isn't possible, except for tour, and we drive a lot.
With gas prices at record high levels, most of us are wondering how to maximize our fuel efficiency. Here are some ways to get more distance from your tank of gas!
1. Clean out your trunk. Moving more weight requires more gas.
2. Tighten your gas cap. Gas evaporates around loose or missing caps.
3. Make sure you have the right tire pressure. Check your manual for the recommended pressure for your vehicle.
4. Change your air filter if it is dirty.
5. Check to see that your spark plugs are clean and firing.
6. Keep clean oil in your vehicle.
7. Stop driving erratically! Rapid acceleration and excessive speed uses up more gas.
