Improve on Gas Mileage
With the rising cost of fuel, everyone is trying to stretch their money but how does one get the best value out of the money spent on fuel?
There are many ways you can increase your gas mileage.
1. Make sure the gas cap is in good condition. The seal must not be worn or broken. This is to prevent the gas vapour from going out thus wasting precious fuel.
2. Make sure you choose the right gas for your car. Gas with higher octane level will have very little benefit for cars made to run on regular gas.
3. Never let the engine idle for more than 15 minutes if you don’t want to lose up to a gallon of fuel.
4. Do not speed. Fuel efficiency drop when you speed.
5. Make sure you change the air filter if it is damage or clean it frequently to ensure it is not clogged.
With these simple steps, you can increase the gas mileage significantly. Still, the best way to save on fuel is to avoid unnecessary driving and use the public transport or simply walk around the neighbourhood.

Suppose you a traveling down a hill….
If you put the car into nuetral will that save gas? Also if you put the car into nuetral while moving (or going from nuetral to drive while moving) will that damage your car’s transmission?
First of all, if you are going downhill, I supposed you will be lifting your feet off the accelerator and that means no fuel delivery. However, there is still fuel consumption when you are in neutral but the amount will be relatively small.
