Fuel Saving Tips
Cruise Control
If you have it, use it, if not, it can be added as an aftermarket kit. I added one to my truck about ten years ago, it cut the cost of driving from Dallas to Amarillo down by 10%. Enough to pay for itself in one round trip. Keeping a steady speed manually is nearly impossible over a long drive. We've all had the issue, some cell phone talker passes you, then 5 minutes later, they're in front of you, doing 10mph less and you have to pass them...just to watch them realize that they're going too slow, and they pass you again. It's an irritating cycle, and it's costing them money.
