With gasoline prices going up all over the USA, this matter becomes burning hot in the country, too. Finally Americans joined the rest of the planet in a desire to save some gasoline. Here are some tips from the former car engine designer that can help you to achieve best gas mileage.

- If you have several cars, use the one with the best gas mileage for day-to-day driving.

- In the wintertime, get rid of the snow and ice on your vehicle completely. Not only it adds significant weight to your vehicle, it also boosts windage dramatically.

- Carpool if possible. Yes, it is tiresome sometimes, but this is the unsurpassed way to save on your daily commute.

- Try and keep things in perspective. Bear in mind that your point is to pay out less cash overall. Paying $900 for a tune-up with estimated cutback of $1 per tank is not rational. This is not to say you should not do a maintenance at all. Regular maintenance is significant to your vehicle wellness, including its fuel economy. But from gas saving perspective you need to apply the least expensive (free ideally) measures that offer you top economy.

- Remove your bicycle or ski rack when you don't need it. It's not only weight that affects your fuel economy; it's windage mostly.

All these tips will not turn your gas guzzler into a 40 MPG compact car, but they will help you to achieve best gas mileage possible in your current situation.
