A good chill can slow you down. The same goes for your car or truck. A cold engine does not perform efficiently. This means it wastes gas regardless of how carefully you drive.

Ah, but there is a time tested method for beating the cold car blues, right? You just let the car idle until it warms up. Just like the change your oil every 3,000 miles myth, this one is wrong. You'll actually use more fuel!

Aerodynamics are the biggest factor in gas mileage. The air resists things moving through it. If you put racks on your vehicle to carry bikes, luggage and what have you, you are creating drag and lowering your gas mileage.

Here's one way to save gas that you should definitely know already. When it gets hot outside, don't crank on the air conditioner in your car. It will reduce your mileage by up to 25 percent. Open a window and get the air moving.

Then there are the old stand bys that make a big difference. Keep your tires inflated. Make sure the engine is tuned so it runs efficiently. Clean air filters. Also, make sure your brakes are clean so they don't drag on the drums.

The big question when it comes to fuel prices is when we will hit the tipping point where it changes society. If you want to continue to drive that gas guzzler, you're going to have to pay and if you want to do something about it now then go here and see how you can use water for gas for up to a 60% increase in gas mileage.
