Fuel Economy Optimization

Speed Management

Maintaining 55-65 mph optimizes fuel efficiency. Every 5 mph over 60 mph reduces fuel economy by 7-14%, costing $0.20-0.40 per gallon equivalent.

Vehicle Maintenance

Regular oil changes, clean air filters, and proper tire pressure can improve MPG by 4-15%. Annual maintenance costs ($500-800) typically pay for themselves in fuel savings.

Weight Reduction

Removing 100 lbs from your vehicle improves fuel economy by 1-2%. Clear out unnecessary items to save $50-100 annually in fuel costs.

Route Planning

Using GPS navigation and avoiding traffic can improve efficiency by 10-20%. Smart route planning saves 2-4 hours monthly and $200-400 in fuel annually.
