Control gas costs with wise driving

Your driving habits can make a big difference in miles per gallon.

The biggest savings in mpg is to drive slower. The second thing is don't use the accelerator aggressively. Plan your trips to eliminate those extra mileage side trips. The use of a lighter, heater and air conditioner are also costly to use.

Other things like proper air in the tires and condition of vehicle are important. You might have a few ideas of your own.
