Ford LINCOLN of Franklin Wants You to Drive Smart and Save Gas Money

May 9, 2012 - PRLog -- Ford LINCOLN of Franklin recommends the following ways to drive smart and save gas money:

•   Observe the speed limit. Gas mileage decreases rapidly above 60 mph.
•   Avoid excessive idling. Idling gets zero miles per gallon. Warming up the vehicle for one or two minutes is sufficient.
•   (Head past the jump for more tips)
•   Avoid quick starts and stops. Aggressive driving can lower gas mileage by 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent in the city.
•   Consolidate trips. Several short trips taken from a cold start can use twice as much gas as one longer multi-purpose trip.
•   Don’t haul unneeded items in the trunk. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces fuel economy by 1 to 2 percent.
•   Check the gas cap. Damaged, loose or missing gas caps allow gas to vaporize into the air.
•   Replace dirty or clogged air filters on older vehicles to improve gas mileage by as much as 14 percent.
•   Replace dirty spark plugs, which can reduce mileage by two miles per gallon.
•   Change oil regularly and gain another mile per gallon.
•   Keep your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent.
•   Keep tires properly inflated and improve gas mileage by 3 percent.
