SCAMS

Scams for increasing gas mileage are not new but with rising prices we become more aware and susceptible to them.
Wishful thinking will not make pills, vaporizers or hydrogen generators increase your miles per gallon. Properly inflated tires, clean air filters, lower speeds and sensibleGraph showing MPG VS speed MPG decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph driving habits will save fuel. Most of us won't like it  but we will get better mileage at 55 to 60 mph than at 70 or higher, just a simple matter of wind resistance. While each vehicle gets its best fuel economy at a different speed mileage decreases rapidly at speeds over 60 mph. Idling at long traffic lights is a waste as you get 0 mpg while sitting and the bigger the engine the more you waste. Avoid excess weight. If your still hauling the old monitor or TV in the trunk that you were supposed to drop off at Goodwill, it is costing you money. Use cruise control on the highway and maintaining a constant speed whenever possible.
