    Fuel Saving Tips

    Lets list the fuel saving tips you have.

    1. If you have a 35 gallon tank in the pick-up, only fill 5 gallon at a time You should see a dramatic increase in fuel mileage by not carrying the extra weight around.

    2. Look around for lighter dates Continually carrying a heavy date to the mall or restaurant will use more fuel.

    2A. .Ok people....lets see your fuel saving tips.

    * the date tip came from a member below the dmz He is now enjoying a new set of tires also. The severe wear on the right front tire contributed to loss fuel mileage. Tips like these are valuable in this economy with rising fuel costs.

    In the old times a vacuum gauge would let you know when change was going down the carbs. As a poor kid and with the first car, that was of utmost importance preceding the friday night check cashing jamboree. coasting was performed often....down hill here I come.........

    more more !!!
