This article is going to help you start your research by telling you about some of the different ways that you can use to get more mileage out of your vehicle without using so much gas.
Here are some of the different ways that you can use to improve gas mileage no matter what type of vehicle you have. You will want to do all of these things if you want to increase gas mileage to the best of your ability.
One: Carrying less weight in your vehicle can improve gas mileage. Your vehicle is already heavy enough by itself, so the more weight you have in your car, the less power it is going to have and the more gas it will use. You only want to carry what you absolutely need in your trunk and in your vehicle.
Two: Don't put the pedal to the metal as the saying goes. When you put the pedal to the floor to accelerate you waste gas, plus this is not good on your vehicle's engine. You need to make sure that you increase your speed gradually. Slamming down on the gas will open the pistons in your car's engine and this gas will be sucked out of the fuel tank. Increasing your speed gradually can help you improve gas mileage and will also make your vehicle last longer.
Three: You have to make sure you replace the air filter in your vehicle. This is a cheap way to increase gas mileage. Anyone can improve gas mileage by doing this simple thing by about 10%. Getting an air filter is easy because you can get them from any automotive store located near where you live.
Four: One of the most important things you want to do is to do regular maintenance on your vehicle. Change the oil when it is time, change the filters, get your tires rotated and keep them inflated because over time this will definitely improve gas mileage.
Five: Critically important! Maintain correct tire pressure. Use a quality tire gauge, a 3 or 4 dollar gauge is not accurate nor is the gauge attached to the air line at your service station. The best ones are digital and cost about $15.00. Get your pressure specs from inside the door , where SIN number is, not from the tire.
Six: One of the best ways to increase gas mileage is to get one of the Hydrogen fuel conversion kits that are available. This will help convert your vehicle so that it uses HHO gas also known as Brown's gas. These conversion kits can help anyone improve gas mileage but with so many kits available you need to take the time to check out your options before you get one.
These are just a few of the ways that you can use to improve gas mileage. There are many other ways that you need to learn about. So, do your homework and use all of the ways that you can to help you increase gas mileage no matter what type of vehicle you drive.
