My best advice: Anticipation! Do not brake but decelerate way way way before a red light. This is the real key to make hudge difference on any modern fuel injected vehicule.

I was doing an uber eats delivery and I was being harassed In Traffic by a benz, Tailgating, honking, aggressively passing me. I had his food that his wife ordered. he got there 3 seconds ahead. I didn't care about a tip anymore, I let him know how I felt.

Great advice Wizard. A quick PSA especially for my fellow Americans: Save gas by going slower, but please stay in the right lane. I don't understand why this is such a difficult concept here.

This is way more educational for me about the pros n cons of gas/diesel fuel, next week would be 6 fuel efficient cars you shouldn't buy

My gas mileage is excellent when I don't use my car 🙃

Dusted off my bicycle and put a basket... Store are close by... This has been a blessing meeting new nieghbors feeling better at the end of the day...

That happens to me all the time. I was driving a stretch of road with several lights. There was a guy weaving in and out of cars and almost hit me. I pulled up along side of him about 3 miles down at the light and waved to him. I was driving sensibly and he made no gains driving like a moron.

Unpopular answer: lose weight and friends. Lose the back seat and the spare.

The best way to save money on fuel is actually to vote for competent people.

I just paid $6.71 a gallon for 93 octane 🤬 it’s a BMW, but I’m one of the rare owners that completely keeps up on the maintenance 😉

My dad taught me the art of the coast. Inertia is a great fuel saver, you see traffic lights changing, let off the gas and just roll in. The person behind me can suck it! You save a ton of energy when you dont have to start moving from a dead stop. Maintain speed or slightly slow up a hill, speed up a tad down if you have a long stretch ahead (coast through it).

Car wizard's advise is gold as usual but there are some exceptions / caveats:

When Mythbusters did their show on fuel economy, one of the biggest things was the drivers mood while driving. Try to relax and be calm. One thing the wizard didn't mention is that in some states ethanol gas is discounted or subsidized by the state. The ethanol will have lower fuel economy. When I worked at a gas station the manager had a 45 minute drive to and from work. The difference he got in mileage offset the price of non-ethanol gas.

so yeah, I've noticed the more gasoline goes up, more drivers become more lead-footed, it makes total sense! 🤪

Believe it or not, the best fuel saving advice that worked for me was from Jeremy Clarkson.... ( Paraphrasing)

Hello Mr.Wizard!!! Another good tip for saving fuel if you have reached retirement. You can pick the time you drive. I go 25 miles to town for groceries and I go at 6 00 A.M. The stores open at 7 00 AM and traffic is light.Coming home direction at 8 or 9 00 A M traffic is also light and I save gas. FYI gas is over $10.00 Canadian for Imperial gallon!!! CHEERS from Westcoast Vancouver Island.

One thing about AC compressors: If you live in a cold climate, during the winter it is best to turn on the AC for a few moments at least once per week. If you don't, the oil will drain and the compressor will see a dry startup situation for a few seconds. In time, this will destroy the device. Guess how I know that....

I know that my tire pressure changes by 1 psi per 10°F ambient temperature. So in the fall, my tires will go 3-4 psi low every month as it gets colder out.

I agree with everything WIzard, except that 35psi in cars with low profile tires is actually under inflated. My placard is 36/39 recommended so 35 would be dragging my mileage down and exposing my wheel rims to increased pothole damage here in Michigan. Overall using the placard pressures is the best idea. Those values represent the best ride, mpg and tire life combo for the tire size vs weight distribution of the vehicle. Overinflating wears out the center section of your tires quicker so you end up spending more money on replacement tires sooner. Good Video!

The SUV I drive now is the first one I've owned that has a running MPG display on the instrument cluster. I keep that screen on as I drive and make a game of it - seeing in near real-time how my driving style is affecting fuel usage. Helps a lot.
