Tip of the Day: Lighten the load

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE

Scale

Remove any excess items from your car. Less weight means better mileage. Carrying an extra 100 pounds in the trunk of your car may cut your car's fuel economy by 1 percent to 2 percent.  In addition, a loaded roof rack increases your car's air drag and can pull down your car's mileage by 5 percent. Avoid carrying items on your car's roof whenever possible.
