HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR FUEL ECONOMY:
 (A "bare" version of the most comprehensive guide on the web -
see link at bottom for full version with latest updates.)

 

Over 30 Detailed Ways to Increase Your MPG and save money on gas mileage:  the best overall FREE information on getting maximum MPG with any vehicle! 
If you don't find a new idea or information to save you money, we'll be shocked (and very impressed).

 

Fuel prices have set new records and they’ll never be the same again.  Many online guides advise on improving fuel economy, but they’re either expensive or incomplete.  The free ones always seem to overlook at least two or three of the easiest changes you can make to produce the biggest fuel economy improvements – and there are some BIG companies that don’t want you to know about two of them.  This automotive mechanical engineer thinks you deserve to know better, for FREE!

 

We've broken this into two major categories - driving habits, and vehicle maintenance/repair/upgrades (including aftermarket parts).  There's a lot of information here, so we suggest that you BookMark this page so you can easily return and continue reading.

 

First, DRIVING HABITS: 

  1. Anticipate, use your brakes less, and don't accelerate quickly.  Look far down the road ahead, even if "far" is a city block.  Get into turn-lanes smoothly and early: avoid accelerating to get in front of traffic.  Anticipate stops or slow-downs ahead and take your foot off the gas: try to coast much more than you brake.  Additional coasting distance saves fuel and extends brake-pad life. 
    Remember: he who leaves stoplight quickest pays more at pump. 

     

  2. Use Cruise Control.  It saves fuel and speeding tickets.  But it's not just for cruising.  The "Resume" button can give you decent acceleration without wasting fuel.
     

  3. Overdrive and gear selection.  If your automatic has Overdrive, use it.  If you have a manual transmission, shift early to keep engine rpm's lower and always use the highest gear for highway cruising.

  4. Slow down.  As you increase speed above 60 mph, wind resistance increases rapidly as a percentage of total fuel consumption.  Typically every mile over 60 mph costs you ~1% in fuel economy, so you pay more at the gas pump. 
     

  5. Inflate your tires to their optimum: HIGHER pressures than "normal".  Read carefully.  You need EVEN road-contact pressure (equal across the tread) to maximize everything: tire life, fuel economy, bad weather traction, and best overall handling and cornering characteristics with increased road safety. Probably over 85% of car tires on the road are under-inflated, and this costs money in fuel and shorter tire life.  Under-inflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 psi drop in pressure of all four tires.
    "Experts" generally wrongly define the "proper" pressure as the vehicle manufacturer's recommendation. That's what the government says. That’s what most service shops follow.  Unfortunately, that's seldom correct in private passenger vehicle tires. 
    Fact is that OEM tires for most passenger cars and light trucks are designed by the tire manufacturer for even tread pressure on the ground when inflated to between 35 and 42 psi [pounds per square inch]: that optimum inflation range is much higher than the recommended 28 to 33 psi that are in many owner's manuals or on door-jamb labels. 
    If your tires normally wear the tread off the shoulder before the center of the tread, then your tires ARE under-inflated. 

    So how much air pressure should you use?  How do you figure it out? If you look closely on many tires, you'll see a reference to 35 psi and a maximum pressure of 44 psi.  So as long as you don't put more than 44 psi in your tires, you're fine.  Results?  Overall, bumping your tire pressure up to the optimum will likely give you a 2 to 3% increase in fuel economy, depending on your vehicle, tires, and current air pressure.  Be sure to check/adjust your tire pressure monthly, and rotate your tires twice a year or every 10,000 miles.   For more complete details visit the Ultimate Fuel Economy Guide.
     

  6. Watch your tire choice.  Replacing your tires/wheels with wider and/or taller ones may look awesome, but keep in mind that your choice could have a 1 to 3% penalty in fuel economy... or even more in extreme cases like "monster truck" tires/wheels.

     

  7. Carefully consider your route and the time of day: traffic flow is a huge factor.
    For example, say that along your interstate travel route, the space between vehicles averages 3 to 4 car lengths… typical of traffic in many large cities.  If it’s stop-and-go, fuel economy will be bad.  But if traffic is moving smoothly and fast (at 60 - 80 mph), then fuel economy can be superb: those rushing vehicles create a jet-stream of air that dramatically reduces wind-drag losses.  Up to 30% gains are possible.  For maximum fuel economy, follow a larger vehicle and use cruise control.  Also keep in mind wind direction: if the wind blows strongly from the right and you’re in the right lane, you’ll get NO break in wind resistance from vehicles ahead.
     

  8. Plan and Combine errands to make fewer trips.   Think like your great-grandparents did.  Plan meals and grocery shop once a week to once a month: just make a list of other errands during the week, plan your route, and do it all in the same trip.  Arrange with other parents to carpool or pick up the kids for you. 
    Such planning may seem like work at first, but it frees up time, helps you relax, and can improve your average fuel economy by 5 to 15%.  It can also cut your average weekly miles by 20% or more.  Total dollar potential: save 10-35% of monthly fuel costs.
    How does this help fuel economy?  During the first several miles while warming up, the engine and transmission are not operating efficiently.  This is why city fuel economy can drop dramatically in cold weather, when it can take 10 miles for the engine and transmission to warm up.  Automatic transmissions in particular can be power hogs when fluid is cold, and manual transmissions can feel like you're shifting in molasses. (Hot/cold temperatures are one of many reasons to use a full-synthetic 100,000-mile transmission fluid). 
    So, combining two or three trips into one reduces the miles you drive, and also gets you better fuel economy. 
     

  9. Use air conditioning wisely. 
    - Keep your windows rolled up at speeds over 40 mph: the air turbulence around the window makes the air-conditioning cheaper than the fuel-economy penalty from additional wind-drag.
    - Turn off the air and roll down windows at speeds under 40 mph in the summer heat: the additional wind-drag is cheaper than the air-conditioning.
    Fuel economy impact? ~ 1-5%. 
     

  10. Buy fuel wisely.  Ok, this isn't actually improving your fuel economy, but there are several things to save money on:  Filling up on Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning will normally save you money: those are typically the lowest prices of the week.  Also, filling up in the morning when the fuel is cooler will get you a few extra cents of fuel.  So your best time to fill up is - on average - Wednesday morning.  Don't "top off" your tank: you risk losing fuel to the station's vapor-recovery system, giving them back some of what you're paying for.
     

  11. Use a good fuel additive.  Injectors with excessive deposits have poor spray patterns that can cost you 2 to 15% in fuel economy.  Those deposits are caused by poor quality fuel.  Since '95 the EPA has required all gasoline to have deposit-control additives.  But about half of all gasoline on the market is lowest additive concentration (LAC) gasoline, which barely meets the regulation and contributes to excessive deposits.  What can you do?  First, if your vehicle is designed for premium gas, and you’re using it, your injectors may be fine: many premium fuels include higher additive levels that are effective at keeping injectors clean.  However, what if you don't use premium?  Use "Top Tier" detergent gas – if you can find it – because this new fuel classification meets the 2004 GM/Honda/Toyota/BMW deposit control standard. 
    If you don't need premium and Top Tier isn't available, you probably need an additive.  BEWARE: there are many mousey fuel additive products that generate nice sales profits but do little for your vehicle.  Find a good one that will actually clean your injectors, keep them clean, and (for diesels) lubricate your fuel pump.  Our website suggests fuel additives that we know do the job with quality, for a fair price.     
     

  12. Lose some weight!  Clean out your vehicle's trunk (and maybe the back seat).  Tools from that weekend project two months ago is costing you fuel!  Every 200 pounds in your trunk costs you roughly 1 mpg.
     

  13. Don't drive!  Carpool, occasionally ride a bicycle or walk, telecommute for part of your work-week, or take public transportation.
     

  14. Shift your work-hours to avoid gridlock.  Stop-and-go traffic is hard on fuel economy.  Try to arrange traveling to/from work when traffic flow is running smoothly at the speed limit.
     

  15. Improve airflow AROUND your vehicle: 
    - Loaded roof racks or cargo pods can cut 5% or more off your fuel economy.  A cargo rack that slides into a trailer hitch allows you to carry more stuff, still get into your trunk, and use less fuel.
    - Sunroof air-deflectors can be handy, but do cost you a bit of fuel.  Removing the air deflector might save 1/4 to 3/4% in fuel economy.
    - Consider adding a truck bed cover, either soft-type or hard-shell, to get a 1 to 2 mpg boost.  What about dropping your tailgate to travel, or replacing the stock tailgate with an "air gate" net or louvered tailgate?  They’re not as reliable: results depend on vehicle aerodynamics, bed length, and what you do (or don't) have in the truck bed.
    - Reduce air turbulence under your vehicle: "Off-road" packages with protective underbody "skid plates", or "ground effects" styling packages can add 1-4% in fuel economy.  The downside?  The vehicle may be more difficult to service.
    - Adding an air deflector to the roof of your truck/SUV when towing will also add 1 to 3 mpg by reducing trailer wind-drag.  But it can also reduce your non-towing fuel economy by about the same amount if it's still in position on the vehicle when you're NOT towing.
     

  16. Minimize idling – idle smart:  Engines only need 10 seconds for warm-up before driving (30 seconds if below zero).  Idling your engine more than a minute typically costs more fuel than re-starting it.  So avoid drive-thru lines at banks and fast-food shops: instead of sitting in line, park and go inside.  BUT, when you must idle with an automatic transmission, put the transmission in Neutral or Park while you're waiting: this will cut fuel usage at idle by 10-40% depending on the vehicle and the transmission temperature.  (With manual transmissions, use the brake to keep from rolling back - not the clutch.  That saves fuel and extends clutch life.)
     

  17. Park in the Shade:  The hotter the fuel tank gets, the more gas you lose to evaporation.
     

  18. Smart vacation thinking:  If your vehicle is a gas guzzler, consider renting an economical vehicle to drive on vacation.  With a discounted week-long rate at better fuel economy, the rental might pay for itself.  If you lease your vehicle, using a rental vehicle will also lower your total lease miles.
     

  19. Keep a log of your mileage and fuel.  By monitoring your fuel economy and driving habits, you can see the cost impact of changing your driving style, and you can spot the poor fuel economy that is often a first-alert to maintenance issues.  In addition, as you make changes to improve fuel economy, you can measure the exact results (averaged over five or more fill-ups for best accuracy).
     

  20. Keep your engine tuned up.  If you have a dashboard service-engine light on, you're typically wasting fuel.  Example: bad Oxygen Sensors are a classic problem that can cost you 5-15% in fuel economy.  Overall, poor engine tuning and lack of maintenance can decrease fuel economy by 10-20%, or more.

    Second: vehicle MAINTENANCE & UPGRADES.
    These areas often get skipped in recommendations on getting better fuel economy.  That's unfortunate because they can have huge impacts. 

    Most fuel economy improvements fall into two general categories: 
    - decrease friction in the vehicle's drivetrain (engine, transmission, differential, wheel bearings); 
    - make it easier for air to flow through the engine, anywhere from the air intake to the exhaust tailpipe. 

    These are the same areas that performance-enthusiasts change to get more horsepower.  I spoke with a Lexus mechanic who has won a number of awards with his 2003 Dodge 2500 pickup with the Cummins turbo-diesel engine.  He was surprised that with his many thousands of dollars in horsepower upgrades, he was getting about 23 mpg even with large tires and higher ground-clearance.  "Every time I increased the power, the fuel economy improved."  No surprise to me: except for tires and suspension, he increased his truck’s efficiency with every power upgrade. 
     

  21. Switch to best-quality synthetic oils and filters throughout your drivetrain: engine oil, transmission fluid,  differential gear oil and wheel bearing grease.  This advice - to use the best synthetic lubricants - is drastically neglected, yet it's an EASY area to save a lot of money.  But unfortunately it's not a simple area to understand, so here's a brief primer on synthetic lubricants. 

    The number of vehicle owners turning to synthetic engine oil has increased dramatically, which is very good news for consumers because synthetics are better than petroleum products in every way, BY DESIGN

    But consumers don't realize THREE KEY THINGS:
     
    First
    , that the benefits of synthetics extend to every lubrication area in the vehicle.  For example, most transmissions fail because their transmission fluid has failed, either because the fluid hasn't been changed frequently enough, or because the fluid overheated in towing. Synthetic transmission fluid helps hugely to prevent problems, and naturally saves fuel at the same time. My '94 Taurus SHO got 10% better car fuel economy with engine oil and transmission fluid change, my '02 Sierra 2500HD Duramax got 8% better truck fuel economy with just synthetic engine and differential fluids, and a friend's '99 Olds Silhouette van picked up 20% just by changing to synthetic engine oil - saving over $600/yr in fuel.  
    In other words, for most vehicles, high-performance synthetic lubricants are the single biggest improvement that you can make to improve fuel economy - yet it's rarely mentioned!!!
     One reason is because it's brand dependant.  Most people will get 2 to 12% improvements in fuel economy, IF they use AMSOIL lubricants, but a lot less of an improvement with most other synthetics.  (No infomercial here - just facts with integrity.)  Fleet testing results with AMSOIL oils and fluids in commercial vehicles shows an average 8.2% improvement in fuel economy vs the common big-name commercial lubricants.  (Visit our site to see this data.)


    Second, not all "synthetics" are REAL synthetics.  Today, in fact, most are fakes because the lubrication industry has agreed that it's OK to deceive you. Here's how to tell a true synthetic from a petroleum "synthetic".)
     
    Why do you need real PAO synthetics?  Because in every way they are better than petroleum products - by design - and because they are uniquely able to save you the maximum amount of money, while other "synthetics" are designed to maximize petroleum-oil-company profits by pulling money our of YOUR pocket. 

    Third, not all real synthetics are the same.  As a Mechanical Engineer who has worked for years in automotive, and done extensive research (see About Us at Ultimate-Synthetic-Oil.com), AMSOIL is my extremely strong recommendation.  Why AMSOIL?  AMSOIL was the First in Synthetics in every lubrication area, they are normally the cheapest to use, they are designed for maximum performance and benefit to you (most lubricants are NOT), they continue to lead the world in synthetic lubrication - by a WIDE margin.  (Notice the chart to the right which compares the wear rate of the only 35,000 mile oil in the world against the competition.)  Hundreds of 4-ball Wear Test results in independent laboratories have proven over the years that AMSOIL lubricants are designed to consistently reduce wear (friction) to a far greater extent than even most synthetic lubricants.  This wear-reduction is friction reduction that translates directly to better fuel economy, and longer-lasting vehicles. 

    REAL Results!  I've often heard people say they wouldn't consider a different oil because their big-name (inferior) petroleum oil let them put 200,000 to 300,000 miles on an old vehicle with 3,000 mile oil changes.  That's whimpy "kid stuff" by AMSOIL standards: the cost of that maintenance is typically much higher than 25,000 mile oil changes, and in comparison it's not unusual for AMSOIL-equipped vehicles to exceed 500,000 miles on the original engine and transmission (no internal engine or tranny work, just service-interval maintenance on plugs, belts, hoses, etc).  The fact is that AMSOIL's 25,000 mile/1-year and 35,000 mile/1-year oils (proven and guaranteed) and 100,000 mile transmission and differential fluids mean that it's less expensive to use AMSOIL products than to use anything else. 

    Want proof?  We've got it.  See overall comparative testing results against many specific oil brands, or compare AMSOIL to Mobil 1.  These impressive results aren't just fancy advertising charts: they're ASTM test data from independent laboratories.  While all the oil companies run these tests, generally only AMSOIL publishes data, while the others rely on vague performance claims and clever marketing slogans.  (Beware - test results against generic "competitor A, B, C" are legally meaningless.)  Because if published/advertised test data isn't true, that's FRAUD with huge lawsuit penalties. Yet AMSOIL has been publishing the data for many years, naming the actual big-name products tested, and not one competitor has ever challenged the data accuracy!

  22. Improve airflow into the engine.  This can happen in several stages of increasing complexity, but the first place is the air filter, where air enters your engine.  If your filter is dirty, that reduces fuel economy - up to 10% in the worst cases.  However, there's a conflicting problem.  Conventional filters should NOT be replaced before the OEM's recommended interval or they will increase your engine wear rate: they rely on the "dust cake" buildup to achieve effective filtration, which reduces fuel economy.

    Easy:
      Here's an easy "no-brainer" improvement: replacing your filter with the breakthrough military/aerospace technology in AMSOIL's new Ea nanofiber air filters, you can get less pressure drop while filtering out ALL wear particles, tap/shake/vacuum it once a year to clean it, and have zero problems with warranty coverage. 

    AMSOIL is the ONLY company offering nanofiber filters for most autos and light trucks! 

    Intermediate:

    The next thing to look at is the air-filter box design.  Many OEM's have a restrictive flow-path going into the air-box (to reduce engine air-intake noise by some small amount, or to reduce the likelihood of sucking water if you drive through a foot or two of water), with lots of internal stiffener ribs. Sure, the improved strength from stiffening ribs may enable you to stand or kneel on the airbox, but they often cause pressure-drop and turbulence.  There are two improvement routes: an aftermarket air-induction system, or a DIY approach. 

    Some DIY tips on further improving airflow:
    The best route is to look at replacing the entire air-intake box and filter with an aftermarket "air intake" kit.  Caution: oiled gauze filters won't keep out many wear particles, and so produce high engine wear-rates, plus their oil can cause reduced fuel economy and trouble with warranty coverage at many dealers.  So choose wisely - go for the OEM certified nanofiber solution if AMSOIL has one available for your vehicle, because nanofiber air filters are the BEST compromise between no filter at all and a restrictive stock filter.  At the bare minimum, your choice of intake should include a two-stage dual-density oiled-foam filter, which removes far more dust than oiled-gauze filters.   If you can't get at least that in an aftermarket air induction system, then we recommend skipping it: upgrade to a nanofiber air filter, and consider modifying the stock airbox as we outline on our website.

    Our easy, intermediate-level and advanced airflow improvement suggestions can realistically net you up to a maximum 8% improvement in fuel economy.  Beyond that, you can start looking at adding or upgrading a turbo or supercharger, or increasing the size of the air-to-air intercooler and piping...
     

  23. Improve airflow out of the engine:  Install an aftermarket exhaust system.  These have larger diameter pipes and larger, less restrictive mufflers.  My point isn't to get louder (though some increased noise is common, and many systems are intentionally designed to be much louder), but to reduce "backpressure" losses which cut down on horsepower, torque and fuel-economy.  You may want to shop for the exhaust sounds you do or don't want. 
     

  24. Upgrade to a more fuel-efficient vehicle.  But be cautious.  Everyone wants to make money from your vehicle change, so be sure to look out for your best interests.    There are several ways to do this.  First, beware of sticker price.  Spending a lot more money to get more fuel economy may not begin to pay you back before you sell the vehicle.  Hint: visit this page on our site for comparison considerations between hybrids and modern turbo-diesel vehicles. 
     

  25. Finally, be cautious in your search for improved fuel economy: don't waste your money on fake fuel-economy "improvements".  Many products are either total fakes or hugely exaggerated.  Fundamentally, if a mechanical or electronic aftermarket product isn't improving airflow through the engine/exhaust, it's probably NOT going to boost fuel economy.  Visit our site for some specific examples of "improvements" that WON'T save you fuel.

AMSOIL is the undisputed leader in synthetics.............

Since 1972, AMSOIL Synthetic drivetrain LUBRICANTS have proven to be the highest performance engine oils, greases, transmission fluids, and hydraulic and differential gear oils on the market. 
But the other key issue is
nanofiber filtration. 
We now cover oil filters, air filters and other fluid filters like NO-ONE else can.  AMSOIL offers the highest performance, most cost-effective, most comprehensive filter line on earth.  Consider air and oil...

OIL FILTERS:

Until now, Nanofiber filtration technology has been used exclusively in heavy duty applications, including the US ARMY Abrams M1 tank. AMSOIL Ea Filters are the first and only filter line to bring this technology to the auto/light truck market.

EaO nanofiber oil filters provide unmatched full-flow filtering efficiency to 98.7 percent at 15 microns, and 50 percent at 7 microns.  This translates to a 70% reduction in engine wear rates, while giving longer filter life and lower pressure drop for better cold-start performance: the only filtration that gives you the best performance in every category!  Compare that to the filters lining the auto-parts shelves, which don't tell you their common 7,500 mile design life and either won't tell you what micron level their efficiency rating is for, or they claim a micron particle size without stating an efficiency: deceptive, meaningless numbers. 

Additionally, consider bypass filtration systems for commercial and fleet applications in cars and light, medium and heavy trucks which can filter particles down to less than one micron and are 89% efficient at 1 micron, making oil changes virtually unnecessary and virtually eliminating engine wear.  (A standard full-flow oil filter can only filter to 20 microns with any reasonable efficiency, but 5-25 microns is widely accepted as the wear-particle size range.)  Easy to install, these oil filter systems have been proven by millions of miles of over-the road trucks, construction equipment and fleet service. And we use these on our personal diesel pickup trucks: my Duramax 2500HD has over 70,000 miles since the last oil drain, the oil analysis looks perfect, and the appearance of this diesel oil looks like a gas engine with 3,000 miles on the oil.


AIR FILTERS:Abrams M1A1 Battle Tank bites the dust with Nanofiber Filtration Technology

The MOST IMPORTANT filter on the M1A1 Abrams battle tank is its' nanofiber air filter. 
The MOST Important filter on YOUR vehicle is also the air filter.

It's far better, and easier, to keep wear particles out of the engine than it is to attempt filtering them out of the engine oil.  Yet filter companies and vehicle manufacturer's are strangely silent about actual air filter performance and engine needs.  Now AMSOIL offers world-leading breakthrough Ea air filters with exclusive nanofiber technology.  Based on battlefield-proven air-induction systems used in military ground and air vehicles, this high-technology filtration is now available for consumer use!  Ea filters are guaranteed for 4 years, 100,000 miles, and have OEM certified fitment for your vehicle.  The engineering rule of thumb for damaging wear particle size is 5 to 25 microns.  Incredibly, these filters are 100% efficient at removing particles of 3 microns, and are 80% effective at removing particles of a 1 micron size.  This means that NO WEAR PARTICLES CAN GET PAST OUR Ea AIR FILTERS!  AND, they're less expensive to use than ANY other air filter.

For Power Sports applications, AMSOIL offers a line of oiled-foam filters.  These filters provide better performance than oiled-gauze air filters, and are used almost exclusively in most off-road applications including baja, dirt-track racing, and motocross.

For light to heavy trucks, both gas and diesel engines, AMSOIL's partnership with Donaldson provides you with the best performance and most cost-effective air filtration systems in the world.  These include both Powercore and Nanofiber technology filters.  We have the full line of  Donaldson Filters Now Available , including air, fuel, water, oil and hydraulic filters, with exclusive performance warranties (no one else in the industry offers filtration performance warranties).  Contact us for specific recommendations, or see our Diesel Page.

Air Induction Systems:

AMSOIL offers a growing line of the only OEM certified air induction filtration systems on the market.  Offering dramatic airflow improvements for gains in horsepower, fuel economy, and towing torque, they also keep wear particles out of your engine better than any marketed product.  Current air inductions systems include the 7.3 liter PowerStroke.  In addition, AMSOIL has released a full line of nanofiber universal air induction filters (EaAU) designed to replace stock oil wetted gauze or foam conical filters that were supplied with custom induction systems produced by K&N, Injen, S&B, Green, AIRAID, AFE, TrueFlow and more. Whether your air induction system is in a gasoline street-rod, or a diesel truck, you have great airflow but you need better filtration than oiled gauze.  AMSOIL Ea Air Induction Filters are dry no-oil filters that offer far better efficiency, 50 times the capacity, excellent airflow and are easily cleanable.
