Coloradoans could be saving $6 billion in gas each year by following these simple gas saving tips. Twenty-three percent of vehicles have at least one tire that is under inflated by at least 20% or 8 pounds per square inch. This could mean reduced fuel economy by 4%. Tires under inflated 50% could increase fuel consumption by 10%. Proper tire inflation cannot be judged just by looking at them. The use of an accurately calibrated and properly used tire guage must be utilized to gain an accurate measurement.

Probably the most overlooked causes of poor fuel economy are driving habits. Excessive speeding, quick acceleration and braking can decrease fuel efficiency as much as 33%. At current prices, by driving sensibly, you could save as much as $1.35 per gallon of gas.
