Drag:
Your vehicle get?s its highest MPG between 90 and 120 Kilometers per hour (km/h). The faster you drive, the more air resistance is pushing back on your vehicle. This is called drag. Avoiding high drag conditions significantly improves MPG. Drive the speed limit!

Acceleration:
Don?t do what that popular TV commercial suggests you to do... ?Zoom zoom zoom.? During acceleration, your vehicle literally becomes a gas hog. A tremendous amount of energy is required get your vehicle to speed. Ever try pushing your car? Every time you accelerate, you?re using as much energy as turning on over 600 light bulbs, that?s about 30,000 watts. By accelerating modestly and safely, your engine will last longer and burn fuel more efficiently. Keep your accel score high and you?ll feel it less at the pump. |
Deceleration:
When you step on your brakes, you?re converting kinetic energy into thermal energy. In layman terms, you?re wasting your motion energy into heat. This is why your brakes get hot. By planning ahead and anticipating stops or slow downs you?ll be able to take your foot off the gas sooner, allowing you to coast to your stop instead of decelerating hard at the last minute. |
