Energy and Money Savers with your Car

When you're on the road, think and drive safely. Aggressive driving, such as speeding, rapid acceleration, or hard braking wastes gasoline, and can lower your highway gas mileage by 33 percent and city mileage by 5 percent (not to mention raising your blood pressure)!

Keeping up with your car's maintenance is another energy and money saver in the long run and may prevent future problems for your car and the environment. A clean air filter keeps dirt and other foreign particles from entering the engine, and can improve gas mileage as much as 10 percent. Properly inflated and aligned tires can improve mileage by around 3 percent.
