Simple Fuel Saver Strategies

Fuel Saver Strategy #6

Avoid unnecessary engine idling time. It’s an anti-fuel saver habit. When the engine is idling you are receiving 0 miles per gallon.

Most late-model cars do not need to be warmed up. In fact, no matter how efficient your car is unnecessary idling wastes fuel, costs money, and pollutes the air. If waiting for more than a few minutes at a drive-through lane or similar circumstance. Turn off the engine. Be a fuel saver.

Also do not leave the car idling while running into a store for a quick errand. This is especially hard on a vehicle during the hot summer months and is an open invitation for auto theft. That’s dumb.
