Proper tire inflation, a couple more over recommended won’t hurt.

Put the whip in eco mode. It will accelerate slower but save gas.

Let off the damn gas pedal if you know you’re coming to red lights, traffic, stop signs, etc. Like, why the fukk do people go 45mph to a stop sign when they clearly know they will have to stop? You’re killing gas and brakes. Just coast to the muthafukka…

When going downhill, let off the gas. Gravity will do the work for you.

Pick up speed well before going up a hill so that you don’t have to hit the gas as hard to get you up the hill. You use less gas speeding up on a flat surface than trying to pick up speed on a hill

Nowadays, don’t ever listen to somebody that thinks that using the A/C lowers your gas mileage. You use more gas with the windows down because of all the wind pushing back on your car.

I love physics/math so these are the things I think about when I’m bored in a car. It’s wild that if I drive the Elantra for a week it will sit at about 38-40mpg but let my wife drive it for the week…that shyt stay at like 28-30mpg; because we have totally different driving styles

Buy a motorcycle :mjgrin:


Don't know what kind of car you have, but general tune up items can help improve/restore gas mileage

New spark plugs and wires
New distributor cap and rotor
New fuel filter
New air filter
New fuel pump
New/refurbished fuel injectors
Check for any vacuum leaks and fix them
Clean mass air flow sensor with MAF cleaner

Driving style impacts efficiency too. Driving slower and smoother is better for fuel economy.

Turn your engine off when you hit the speed limit.

Put a sail on top of your car for maximum wind support. (Make sure you can adjust it from inside the car, so it's always catching air and not dragging you back)

Add half a bottle of avocado oil to your gas tank with each fill up. It will help the gas last longer

Take public transit.
