10 Tips To Increase Fuel Efficiency<\/h2>\n
While the best fuel-saving tip is to purchase a new, fuel-efficient Mercedes-Benz model, we’ve listed another ten for drivers hoping to save money:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Slow down!<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Fuel efficiency peaks between 40 and 55 miles per hour. The harder you push your engine, the more fuel you’re going to burn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Go easy on the accelerator<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Smooth driving is easier on your engine than slamming on your accelerator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Use cruise control<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Keeping your vehicle at a constant speed will avoid making your engine work any harder than it needs to.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Travel lightly<\/strong>\n
- \n
- The more junk you have in your car, the more stress you put on your engine. Do you really need those golf clubs in the trunk?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Keep your vehicle in good repair<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Your vehicle has a lot of working parts, and many of them affect your fuel economy. So keep your filters clean, your wheels aligned and your tires inflated for optimal performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Avoid unnecessary\u00a0idling<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Instead of idling, turn off your vehicle if you plan on waiting for more than 45 seconds. You’ll waste more fuel leaving your vehicle running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Choose the scenic route<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Open road driving is perfect for increased fuel efficiency. You’ll avoid any stop-and-start driving that puts a strain on your engine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Monitor your tires<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Properly-inflated and regularly-rotated tires roll easily with no friction. Check your tire pressure regularly, especially when it’s cold.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Easy on the A\/C<\/strong>\n
- \n
- Your air conditioner puts an extra burden on your engine, which, in turn, uses more gasoline. Keep your windows open – especially when you’re not driving at high speeds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Don’t drive!<\/strong>\n
- \n
- This is the easiest tip to save money! Avoid using your vehicle at all by choosing public transportation, walking or catching a ride from a friend or a ride-share program. The environment thanks you, as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
