Fuel-Saving Tips for Drivers
Summary:
Worried about high gas prices? You're not alone. Fortunately, automakers are innovating to improve fuel efficiency, even in powerful, feature-rich vehicles.---
If you're concerned about the cost of filling up your car, you're in good company. Gasoline prices are impacted by many factors, including rising global demand, limited supply, and instability in oil-producing regions.
The positive news is that automakers are finding ways to get more miles per gallon, even in powerful vehicles. Today’s cars are 900 pounds heavier and offer twice the power compared to models from the early '80s.
One key strategy from a major American car company is integrating advanced technologies into larger vehicles to boost fuel efficiency. These innovations include:
- Active Fuel Management™: This GM technology allows the engine to run on fewer cylinders when full power isn't needed, such as when idling.
- Six-Speed Transmissions: These improve performance and fuel economy with a broader gear range.
Beyond designing vehicles capable of 30 mpg or more on highways, GM is leading the way in reducing gasoline use and greenhouse gas emissions. They're enhancing energy independence by manufacturing vehicles that run on E85 ethanol?"a blend of 85% renewable ethanol and 15% gasoline. With nearly 2 million of such vehicles on the road, E85 reduces gasoline reliance, as 17 out of every 20 gallons used are ethanol. More fuel stations are offering E85, and ethanol production is on the rise.
Hybrid options from GM include the upcoming Saturn Vue Green Line, Saturn Aura Green Line, Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid, and the Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon Two-mode Hybrid.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
1. Carpool and Combine Errands: Sharing rides and organizing your trips can significantly cut fuel use.
2. Stick to the Speed Limit: Driving faster increases wind resistance and fuel consumption. Each 5 mph over 60 mph is like paying 21 cents more per gallon.
3. Avoid Aggressive Driving: Speeding and rapid acceleration can reduce gas mileage by 33% on highways and 5% in town. Stay calm and see your savings grow.
4. Use Cruise Control: On the highway, it can enhance fuel efficiency by up to 10%.
By adopting these strategies, you can keep fuel costs down while staying eco-friendly.
