Driving Economically

Saving At The Pump

(NAPSI)-Here's a tip to help drive down what you pay at the pump. The sticker saying how many miles to the gallon a new vehicle gets is only an estimate. Actual mileage varies and is largely dependent on your driving habits and other factors.

For instance:

• Driving on underinflated tires can reduce fuel economy.

• Driving at higher speeds up to a point can reduce gas mileage 10 to 15 percent.

• Coasting-rather than accelerating-to stop signs and red lights can save fuel.

• Carrying extra weight in the trunk can waste fuel.

• Keeping a vehicle properly tuned up can also improve gas mileage.

Conscientious driving and good vehicle maintenance can optimize fuel economy.
