Limit Engine Idling
According to the Federal Website for Fuel Economy, it is recommended that you turn off your engine when your vehicle is parked. Limiting engine idle time is another tip. If your engine idles, it’s wasting fuel and getting zero miles per gallon. According to the Federal Website for Fuel Economy, idling can consume as much as a quarter-to-a-half gallon of gasoline an hour. The agency suggests that you turn off your engine when the vehicle is parked to conserve fuel.
It would be best to avoid situations such as driving through drive-thrushes that increase the idle time. You can also increase your fuel mileage by warming up your car before going on your trip. Most vehicle manufacturers recommend that you let your vehicle sit for 30 seconds before starting to drive.
