Better gas mileage is something that many people are worried about. This is true for both the Eco-friendly driver or the average driver. There are many simple things that you can do to make your gas mileage better. I am going to share some of the better ones that I have heard, as well as how much they can improve your gas mileage by.

1. Drive Sensibly- This can save you $0.13-$0.88 per gallon. Try and drive with a less aggressive driving attitude. Driving aggressively will only waste gas.
2. Observe the Speed Limit- Saving you $0.19-$0.61 per gallon. Gas Mileage decreases rapidly after 60 mph.
3. Removing Excess Weight- Saving you $0.03-$0.05 per gallon. While this doesn’t save you a lot, having to carry around unnecessary weight will decrease your gas mileage by up to 2% per 100 pounds.
4. Avoid Excess Idling- Idling just uses gas without the benefit of going anywhere. Use your cruise control and overdrive gears whenever possible.
5. Keep Engine Tuned- Saving you around $0.11 per gallon. An engine that is out of tune can affect your mileage by up to 4% and serious problems can cost you in mileage up to 40%.
6. Keep Your Tires Properly Inflated- Saving you around $0.08 per gallon. Even a lower PSI of 1 will affect your gas mileage.
7. Use the Recommended Motor Oil- Saving you $0.03-$0.05 per gallon. Using the right oil can improve your mileage by 1-2%.

All of these are small amounts of saving but when you add them up, they can equal to a gallon of gas.
