Consumer Reports says that AC’s gas-guzzling reputation is undeserved. And, at higher speeds, opening the windows or sunroof can hurt fuel economy by increasing drag.

]]> 47042 2 34 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/53095/34.jpg Run on empty Don’t fill up your tank until you’re practically on empty; the less fuel you’re toting, the lighter your car, and the more efficiently it will run.

]]> 47043 3 43 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/53095/43.jpg Turn nozzle upside down After filling up your car, turn the nozzle upside down before you remove it from your tank. You’ll get another half a cup of gas that’s stuck in the hose.

]]> 47044 4 52 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/53095/52.jpg Tighten your gas cap Tighten your gas cap after filling up so you don’t let any precious fuel evaporate.

]]> 47045 5 57 Tip Try to park in the shade. This will also help prevent evaporation.

]]> 47046 6 61 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/53095/61.jpg Use your overdrive Put your car in overdrive for highway driving. It lowers your RPM, or revolutions per minute, which saves gas. Check your owner’s manual for the recommended speed at which you may use overdrive.

]]> 47047 7 73 Tip If you’re due for new tires, get radials; they improve gas mileage by two or three percent.

]]> 47048 8 79 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/53095/79.jpg Stay in your lane Stay in one lane as much as possible; weaving uses up more gas.

]]> 47049 9 84 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/53095/84.jpg Cruise correctly Use cruise control when you’re on a flat highway, where it can increase mileage by 7%. But don’t use it on uneven roads, where it’s not efficient.

]]> 47050 10 93 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/53095/93.jpg Turn off everything Turn off all electronics and climate controls before you cut the engine. With the extras off, your engine won’t have to strain so hard to restart, leading to better gas mileage.
