What are you doing to conserve fuel?

Answer 1

i added stacks to my dually, it actually burns more gas now because i wanted flame throwers in the stacks...

it squirts fuel up in there, and when i hit the button, it shoots flames 40 ft into the air...

only burns about 1/4 gallon of gas every time i push the button...

the truck got a supercharger installed, and a lift kit with 44" boggers....

i also got a bigger primary tank, 44 gallons and a bigger secondary tank, 22 gallons...

i take it muddin alot...

Answer 4

Riding a bike in to work. Granted, it's only 5 miles each way.

Answer 5

try these methods of improving gas mileage.

Only use 20% or 1/4 of your gas peddle, that's all you really need. For best mileage, drive with traffic, keep up with the slow lane and don't cause a blockage. you'll get good mileage following traffic, you let off the gas alot. The biggest thing you can do is your driving style, you get twice the mileage while slowing down and triple going down hill, so the sooner you let off the gas the better you will do. anticipate stop signs and lights, left off the gas as soon as you can..

Always use your od, if you don't have one, put on 2 size larger tires on the drive wheels and remember to figure a correction for mileage. you can check it against a gps to find it..

it really helps if you have a car with a mileage computer so you can watch it..

   .Contrary to popular beliefs, CC does not always give the best mileage. I works good on flat prairie, but uses more gas in hilly terrain by acceleration up hill to keep up the speed. Turn it off in the hills and keep a steady gas pedal and let the car slow down going up and it will regain the speed on the other side.

Answer 6

Our family drives a Prius (an awesome hybrid) it runs on electricity as well as gas. It generates electricity from its own momentum while driving... no charging required!

Hope that helps

Answer 7

I ride my motorcycle.  Only get in the car to go to the store or if it's actually raining.  I live in So. California so can ride year round.

Answer 8

I keep my tires at the proper infalation and my speed on the hiway at 60mph or less. I've never seen E85 for sale anywhere where I live.

Answer 9

I'm sure my 95 mile commute to work isn't helping.
