First off, I’d like to take this opportunity to “toot my own horn” because, as I write, Daily Fuel Economy Tip is now the 11th most visited automotive blog according to Blog Top Sites. So thank you to everyone who has been coming to check out this site. I’m hope it’s helped you increase your vehicle’s gas mileage and that you’ve shared it with everyone you know!
Now for my weekly Fuel Economy Log entry:
When I filled up today, I paid $3.00 per gallon, bought 10.681 gallons of gas and had traveled 384.5 miles since my last fill up. All of that equates to gas mileage of 35.99 mpg.
Based on my Neon’s average fuel economy of 29 mpg, I was able to increase my gas mileage by 24%! In terms of money, that’s a savings of $7.68 for this week. Couple that with my savings from last week and over the past two weeks I have saved $12.63 on my car’s gas bill.
Spread that out over an entire year, that’s a savings of $328.38!
Not bad for just making a few slight changes to my driving habits.
