You can get surprisingly better gas mileage by removing excess weight from your car or truck. No, I don’t mean you should tear a couple of doors off, or remove the trunk lid, but you should get rid of anything that isn’t attached to your car and isn’t necessary to haul around.
This means not using your automobile as a storage box for unwanted items that you don’t know where to put. The more weight that you carry in your car, including passengers, the more fuel that you are going to consume as you drive. Does this mean you get to make your mother-in-law walk? No, but you can use it for a little bit of leverage if needed.J
Some people put sandbags in their trunk (for traction) during the winter months. If you’re one of these people, make sure you remove them when they are no longer needed. It not only affects your gas mileage, but it can hinder your car’s handling performance, which can be dangerous, especially at higher speeds.
