It\u2019s okay, there\u2019s no shame in that! The two definitely go hand in hand, as when you have better fuel economy, you don\u2019t have to fill up your tank as often, which saves money! So, how can you manage this? We\u2019re definitely not all electric vehicle drivers &#8211; but the secret is that you don\u2019t have to be one to get better gas mileage. Keep reading for our tips!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Don\u2019t speed. It decreases your mileage tons based on your speed, because of acceleration and deceleration. Tons meaning that for every five mph over 50 you go, you\u2019re paying about 10-20 cents more per gallon of gas. It adds up.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Have patience and focus on safety, because when you are focused and attentive to the road, you tend to drive more safely. Try coasting to a stop when you see stopped cars ahead of you. It\u2019s not only safer but also saves you gas!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Rear racks are infinitely better than roof racks in terms of fuel economy. The latter really increases drag and decreases your aerodynamics, which affects your efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Idling is worse than stopping. If you\u2019re gonna be hanging out somewhere in your car that\u2019s not a stoplight or stop sign, turn your car off fully. Idling is both bad for your fuel economy and for the environment!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li dir=\"ltr\" style=\"list-style-type: disc; font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.38; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 11pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: #000000; background-color: transparent; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Cruise control is the best invention. Seriously, it fully eliminates the extra accelerations and decelerations that happen when we\u2019re driving down the highway that can accumulate into poor fuel economy. It also keeps you going at a consistent rate of speed, which is excellent when everyone else is going either 80 or 20 and can\u2019t choose between the two. You\u2019re better than that, friend.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"row blog_row\">\n<div id=\"featured_video\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"cta\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youngernissan.com\/searchnew.aspx?HwyMpgrange=31-40 \"><button class=\"cta_button\">Our Most Fuel Efficient Vehicles<\/button><\/a><\/div>\n<div id=\"social-media\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/fredericknissan\/\"><img id=\"find-us-live\" src=\"https:\/\/clients.oomdo.com\/blog_dev\/images\/find-us.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; If you\u2019re like anyone else in this day and age, you\u2019re interested in saving money and also in increasing your vehicle\u2019s fuel economy.
