2. Be highway savvy
Yeah, you’ve heard it before, but patience is a virtue, and it applies the most, especially when you’re driving. For example, if you have to be somewhere first thing in the morning, a better idea is to leave home earlier instead of driving like Speedy Gonzales from Looney Tunes through the city. Take it slow when you’re driving because doing so can reduce fuel efficiency by 15% to 30%. Believe it or not, we consume more than 22 cents per gallon for every five miles driven at speeds of 50 miles per hour or less.
Additionally, if you are traveling over 50 mph, you might want to switch on the air conditioning because pulling down your windows may result in a 20% reduction in fuel efficiency.
