»  Comments | Post a Comment

As gas prices continue to rise with no end in sight, drivers are doing whatever they can to save gas.  But have you ever thought about how much gas you use while stopped?

To get the most out of your car, practice good driving habits such as not accelerating too quickly, and coasting to a stop.  Also keep your tires inflated, and make sure to turn off your engine if you are sitting still for a minute or longer.
