It’s a big weekend for hitting the road. Consumer Reports has some tips that really WILL save you some gas:
• Don’t speed. Every 10 miles per hour you go over 55 - you lose about 5 mpg. That adds up on a long trip.
• The less weight you carry the better. If you can – fit the stuff INSIDE the vehicle. Those racks and luggage carriers on top can reduce mileage by about 6 mpg.
• Check your tire pressure. Low pressure is a big gas waster.
• Avoid premium gas. It won’t hurt most cars and could save you about 20 cents per gallon.
