"The key to getting the most miles out of each gallon is driving efficiently. That means smooth acceleration, soft braking and slowing down. Cars tend to be the most fuel efficient when driven at about 50 miles per hour."
"Depending on how much you drive, a lead foot can cost a driver more than $400 a year. Underinflated tires, heavy boxes in the back seat and an unused ski or luggage rack on the top of the vehicle can also make it less fuel efficient."
"Data suggests that higher gasoline prices have many drivers at least thinking about giving up gas-powered cars altogether. On the auto marketplace website CarGurus, listing views for EVs went up 31% between the start and the end of March."
Gasoline prices have risen sharply, averaging over $4 per gallon, leading many drivers to seek ways to cut costs while continuing to drive. Efficient driving techniques, such as smooth acceleration and maintaining a speed of around 50 mph, can significantly improve fuel efficiency. Factors like underinflated tires and unnecessary weight can also reduce efficiency. Interest in electric vehicles has surged, with a 31% increase in views for EVs on CarGurus, although new EV sales remain low.
