Edmunds did a test on this, and on average you can increase your mileage by 7%, but it can go up as much as 14%. Other important notes from their testing, if you're going to idle more than a minute, turn the car off. This can save up to 19%. Avoiding aggressive driving can save up to 31% (I know, I know, just sayin). Driving lower speeds on long trips can save up to 14% (again, I know). Things that didn't matter as much as they expected: A/C On, Windows Up vs. A/C Off, Windows Down. Tire pressure. (Which I'm pretty surprised to hear). |
