Auto Gas Mileage, How to Save on Gas

Auto Gas mileage is the miles your car will run for each gallon of gas. Let's find your car's gas mileage. Gas Mileage Tracker can print out MPG reports sorted by car or by date on the fill ups. A blank report can be printed to be used as a form to fill out any MPG fuel data by hand while you are at the gas station. Gas mileage depends on engine of vehicle i.e.

Gas mileage has gone up. Surging and then coasting conflicts with several laws of physics. Auto Gas Mileage Tracker is a MPG program designed to help you understand and track your gas mileage and gasoline usage. You can track your total miles and gas mileage, your total highway miles and highway gas mileage, as well as your city miles and city gas mileage.

Car pool to work. Try not to drive during rush hour to reduce idling in traffic. Carmakers do what we tell them to do with our money . If consumers choose auto gas mileage over size, carmakers will make cars with better gas mileage. Cars must average 27.5 miles per gallon. The government's measure overstates actual fuel economy by 18 percent, experts say.

Fuel efficiency is a sound national energy policy, economic policy and foreign policy all wrapped into one. Every increase of one mile per gallon in auto fuel efficiency yields more oil than is in two Arctic National Wildlife Refuges. Fuel economy, however, dropped across the board. In highway driving, auto gas mileage decreased from 21 to 15 mpg; in city driving, it dropped from 9 to 7 mpg. FuelEconomy.gov gives some numbers on the 2007 Hybrid SUVs, showing us that the average mpg on these cars is around 30 mpg. What this means in terms of your own pocket is that it'll currently cost you about $40 to fill up one of these babies and you'll be able to drive over 400 miles before filling up again.

Perhaps the biggest surprise is that the all wheel drive Subaru Forester ranks nearly as high in fuel mileage as the front wheel drive only competition. This makes it a best buy and we highly recommend it if you need the traction. Perhaps with using higher octane on these so-called "high-performance" engines we can get better mileage? Perhaps you left the car idling a long time. Maybe you did a lot of stop-and-go driving.

Hybrid owners haven't been exempt from feeling this pinch either. In our testing, we fell way short of EPA estimates of 60 mpg city and 51 mpg highway. Hybrids combine gas engines with electric motors. You don't need to plug your car in at night, and you get terrific mileage, averaging from 40 to 60 miles per gallon for passenger cars, such as the Toyota Prius or Honda Civic hybrid.
