1. Properly inflate your tires: According to AAA, only 17 percent of cars have properly inflated tires – but it can improve fuel economy by up to three percent, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
2. Go easy on the brakes: The U.S. Department of Energy reports aggressive driving can lower a car’s fuel economy by up to 33 percent.
3. Obey the speed limit: It’s not just for your safety – the U.S. Department of Energy reports that each 5 mph driven over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.24 per gallon for gas.
