Ways to Use Less Gas (That Go Beyond the Obvious)

By , About.com Guide

Ask for Directions

Getting lost stinks. Wasting gas on a bunch of wrong turns stinks even more. If you don't have a GPS to get you on track, stop and ask for directions as soon as you can.

Don't Tailgate

When you travel too close to the vehicle in front of you, you have to brake a lot more frequently, and that means more frequent trips to the gas station.

Don't Lane Hop

Getting ahead of other cars may be what NASCAR is all about, but it's not what regular driving is all about. Give all the lane changes a rest, and you won't need to apply your foot to the accelerator and brake nearly as often.
