Quick Tips to Lower Your Fuel Costs

  • Maintain 55–60 MPH on highways — every 1 MPH over 55 costs about 0.1 MPG.
  • Keep tires inflated to spec. Under-inflated tires can cut MPG by 1–2%.
  • Use engine braking and anticipate stops — hard braking wastes momentum.
  • Idle as little as possible — idling burns roughly 0.8 gallons per hour.
  • Use fuel cards (Love's, Pilot, TA/Petro) — discount per gallon adds up fast.
