deflating gas price

gas prices are going down, yes, but maybe not for long. here're (coutesy of reader's digest aug '04) some tips on how to save: don't drive aggressivly - meaning: don't accelerate rapidly, brake suddenly, or change lanes excessively; it can cost you as much at 10% in gas mileage. btw, feul efficency peaks at around 60mph. after that, add in about 10cents a gallon for each additional 5mph. also make sure that you've got proper tire pressure. if you're under, you might be losing 6cents per gallon. replace a clogged air filter and save another 20cents per gallon. and if you fix that malfunctioning oxygen sensor, you could save as much as 60cents per gallon. one more thing, check your gas cap. "nearly 150 million gallos of gasoline evaportate into the atmosphere every year because of all the damaged, loose and missing caps." so really, if you just fixed all the broken things in your car, you'll save a hell of a lot more money than pinching those pennies by driving "safely."
