How to Save Gasoline for Pollution Prevention Week

From September 21st to the 27th, the EPA celebrates Pollution Prevention Week – a time to learn about all the ways we can prevent further polluting the world around us. Unfortunately, vehicle emissions are an enormous source of air pollution.

While it is not feasible for many of us to stop driving, there is one major way you can help to reduce this problem: use less gasoline. The less gasoline you use, the less emissions your vehicle produces.

Plus, using gasoline saves more than just the environment; it also saves you money. There are plenty of ways to use less gasoline during your trips, without changing the amount of time that you drive.

One major way is to always obey the speed limit, because driving fast actually causes fuel economy loss. An easy way to make sure you are staying at one speed it to utilize cruise control. Lowering the weight of your cargo will also improve fuel economy.
