Fuel efficiency translates into money saved. Overspending on gasoline drives up the cost of vehicle ownership and increases emissions. The first step to take when looking to reduce fuel consumption involves looking for vehicles that get great gas mileage. However, all vehicles could benefit from a few steps to cut down on fuel consumption.

The way you drive factors into fuel consumption. Stepping on the accelerator burns up fuel and doing so unnecessarily burns up even more gasoline. Speeding up and slowing down too frequently also uses excess fuel. Stop-and-go traffic leads to idling. Maybe plan trips when there's less traffic.

Don't dismiss routine maintenance's contribution to better fuel economy. Proper tire inflation, routine oil changes, fuel injector cleanings, and removing useless cargo could boost performance.
