Fuel Economy Tips From Cassill Motors in Cedar Rapids, IA

As gas prices continue to soar, more drivers are looking for ways to spend less at the pump when filling up their cars. There are many ways to reduce your fuel usage by reducing your speed and avoiding accelerating too quickly. Try to coast when you need to slow the car and accelerate gently when you need to merge onto highways.

Removing extra clutter in the car will also reduce the weight that the car carries. You can also resort to using the fan setting in the cabin instead of the air conditioner to save more on fuel without compromising your level of comfort.

Limiting idling is also necessary. It's more efficient to turn the engine off if you plan to keep the car parked for more than a few minutes. Checking the tire pressure is also necessary because the car uses more fuel when the tires are low on air.
