Simple Tips To Improve Your Gas Mileage
Thu, Jun 26, 2008
Our Gas Prices articles, and our permanent (and frequently updated) Current Cheapest Gas Prices page, are some of the more popular things on this site. And understandably so. As gas prices continue to go up, everyone’s looking for the cheapest gas in Sumner County.
People are driving less or consolidating errands to make fewer trips.
So we thought you guys would enjoy some of the gas-saving tips offered in this fantastic Yahoo news article:
- check your tire pressure–fuel efficiency increases dramatically when tires are inflated properly
- change your air filter–clogged air filters rob your engine of efficiency
- stay under 60–once you get over 60mph, gas mileage plummets (this explains all the “grannies” on Vietnam Veterans that keep getting in my way going 55 or less)
- don’t use your A/C–yeah, I don’t think most of you will follow this one once temps get into the 90s, but A/C hurts efficiency
I won’t spoil all the tips… you can read the full article here.
Following just a few of these pieces of advice, combined with checking Sumner Shortcuts for the latest in cheap gas prices in Sumner County, will help keep your fuel costs down this summer.

This is a really helpful article. I’m not sure all these tips are easy to do… but the tire pressure and air filter are definitely little things we can do. Love the site… keep up the good work!
