Younger Nissan’s Fuel Saving Tips:
Track Your Mileage In Real Time
- Knowing what mileage you’re getting in real-time compared to what you got yesterday or even 10 minutes ago is the new way to drive
- Most newer vehicles have this function and allow you to view it on your virtual cockpit
- For older cars, you may need to get your knuckles dirty by installing a vacuum gauge, which measures how hard the engine is working, or explore the growing world of DIY fuel-economy electronics
Only Brake When Needed
- You might find that in traffic, not even stop-and-go traffic, that the pack was constantly speeding up and abruptly slowing down
- Do something different, when everyone starts going give yourself a 10-15 seconds buffer before hitting the gas and accelerating. If timed right you could coast right up to the vehicle in front of you as they are starting again without ever hitting the brakes.
Drive Like You’re On a Bike
- When you’re headed uphill, it takes a lot more effort to maintain speed than it does going down, so give the car a break and let yourself lose a few mph on the way up. Your car burns the most gas when it’s forced into high-load situations, so try to remember what makes biking difficult and make those situations as painless as possible by laying off the gas.
Plan Your Route Ahead Of Time
- Take the path with fewer stoplights, not as much traffic and, yes, lower speed limits. Even if you save 0.1 gallons of gas each day, you’ll save more over a hundred dollars per year.
Avoid Rush Hour
- I get it, avoid rush hour is a lot harder said than done. Most office buildings let out around the same hours and you can’t just sit there till the roads are clear. Well, try alternate routes. It might add a few minutes to your commute but will save you more gas than having to deal with stop-and-go traffic!
