Energy Stickers and Gas Mileage

Gas MileageInformation regarding a vehicle’s fuel efficiency is available to consumers in the form of energy rating stickers which have been affixed to new cars for a number of years. These stickers provide information on Gas Mileage, estimated annual fuel costs and savings, as well as the vehicle’s environmental impact including greenhouse gas emissions and smog ratings. The aim of measuring the vehicle’s costs and tailpipe emissions is to create a level of awareness among consumers of their vehicle’s costs and its environmental impact, and to save fuel, with the added benefit of manufacturers investing in the development of vehicles that can be run on alternative fuels.

Slow it Down Upon Departure as your Gas Mileage Depends on it.

Gas MileageIt should be quite painfully obvious that slow acceleration wins the race in this case. It is not only very selfish of you to drive passed the flow of traffic at alarming rates just to get passed a stop sign or a red light but it is also very departmental to your gas mileage as a whole.

To beat the heat would require that you punch the gas pedal hard and overall, there’s no point in doing something like that as it will not help you out in the long. The faster you choose to go the more fuel you use; case and point, keeping it slow will reduce gas consumption significantly.
