Great Gas Mileage Tips that WORK!
Just got back from a 200 mile trip into Pennsiltucky on the N.J. Turnpike and the Pennsie Turnpike. Kept the cruise on @ 64 mph and had almost NO traffic. Have 5W30 Mobil 1 in my 1995 Grand Am with the 3.1 V/6 that was rated at 29 mpg highway. Using VERY gentle pressure on the gas pedal, coasting up to lights and no air on, it got 33.7 mpg. I did hit 32 mpg on my runs to Toms River(again on the G.S. Parkway)and using the cruise @ 64 mph, does the trick. I KNOW THAT EVERYBODY AND HIS MOTHER WAS PASSING ME, but if thats what it takes, then so be it. I just read that for every minute you idle at a light, you could have driven a 1/2 mile. So small things like shutting off you engine if stuck in traffic or at a long light add up. It may be EXTREME, but if you can afford to pay $4.00 PLUS for a gallon of gas, God Bless You!
