On The Road

Drive smoothly—Fast starts use up to 50 percent more gas than easy starts. Accelerating slowly from a full stop not only saves gas, but keeps tires from wearing out. Driving smoothly saves gas and lowers toxic emissions.

On The Road

Don't idle or rev the engine—Idling, or letting the engine run while you are stopped for a long time, wastes gas. Revving the engine, or pushing on the gas pedal when the car is stopped, wastes gas and increases engine wear.
