Fuel Mileage Tips

Post by whitehumh2 »

Ok, so I happened to find these two lists of how to increase your fuel economy.

http://ecomodder.com/forum/fuel-economy-mpg-modifications.php

http://ecomodder.com/forum/EM-hypermiling-driving-tips-ecodriving.php

While a lot of the stuff is just pure common sense, some of it is down right funny!!!

Actually, if you read their list carefully you should get the hint that the best way to get fuel economy is = NOT TO DRIVE!!! Lol!

Well that defeats the whole purpose of owning a vehicle in the first place!

There are a bunch of Really Unsafe practices that they endorse as well...all to save a microscopic amount of fuel!

Enjoy the laugh and the tips!
