Tips to Increase your MPG

Here are some tips to save gas and increase your gas mileage.

Park in the shade - gas will evaporate in the heat
If you ride alone close the a/c vents in the back and on the passanger side - car will cool only you
If you go down hills coast - no reason to push on gas, take advantage of gravity
When it is hot keep windows cracked - less time to cool down interior when you get in
Make sure tires are inflated to correct size
Keep oil and airfilters clean

Bike or Walk instead of driving when you can :-)

wouldn't don't use your AC in general be a better tip then close the other vents?

Probably, but then I would get sweaty and have to take a shower when I got home :-) using up water and gas.

Gas is getting expensive and expensive each day. And saving it is really a very big challenge for everybody who is really defending too much on gas. And I believe we all do. The tips are excellent and I believe following it would lead to a lot of savings.
