Tips for Better Mileage

Use public transportation. Research public transportation routes to see how you can supplement your daily commutes with public transportation. Between the costs of gasoline and vehicle maintenance, you will almost always save using public transportation.

Lower your profile. Vehicles that ride high encounter more wind resistance. Buying lower-profile vehicles will usually mean better mileage. If your vehicle is able to adjust ride height, keep it low unless you are off-road and need the extra clearance.

Clean snow and ice from vehicle. Snow and ice left on your vehicle will decrease your mileage by disrupting air flow. It will also increase the overall weight of your vehicle. Powder snow is for skiing and boarding on, not for driving under.
