What can you do with your car to improve gas mileage?

Here are some tips to improve your car's gas mileage:

- Keep your car properly maintained: Regular maintenance, such as oil changes and tune-ups, can improve gas mileage by up to 4%. Keeping your tires properly inflated can also help improve fuel efficiency.

-Drive smoothly and accelerate gradually: Rapid acceleration and braking waste fuel. Accelerate smoothly and gradually, and coast to stop whenever possible.

-Use cruise control on the highway: Cruise control helps maintain a steady speed, which can improve gas mileage.

- Avoid idling: If you're going to be stopped for more than minute or so, turn off your engine.

-Travel light: The heavier your car, the more fuel it will use. Remove unnecessary items from your car to reduce its weight.

-Use public transportation, walk or bike whenever possible: This can help you save gas and reduce your environmental impact.

- Consider a hybrid or electric car: If you're in the market for a new car, consider a hybrid or electric vehicle. These cars typically get better gas mileage than traditional gasoline-powered cars.
