The greatest expenditure for your car is not actually repairs or accessories but the money spend for your car fuel. With increasing fuel prices, you may want to increase your cars MPG (miles per gallon) to save some money on fuel expenses. Your MPG does not on rely on the efficiency of the engine but also on the way you drive and which fuel you would use.

Driving sensibly at reasonable speeds could increase your MPG by 33%. Speeding, rapid acceleration and sudden brakes can use more than enough gas. Observing your speed limit can also save you fuel, speeding more than 60 mph can give a 0.24 gallon increase per mile. Removing excess weight in your car can also save you gas by decreasing your air drag during travel. Reducing air drag decreases the work done by your engine to move the car thus increasing your MPG. Using cruise control during driving on highways can save you gas by helping you maintain constant speed during travelling thus supplying enough fuel into your engine. Keeping your car in shape can also save you fuel, inflating your tires at the right pressure and using the suggested oil for your car can increase your MPG by 3%.

These are only a few ways to increase your MPG and lessen your car expenses. Giving your car regular tune-ups and oil changes can also help you increase MPG. Increasing MPG would be very easy if you just keep these tips in mind.
