Statistics from the US Environmental Protection Agency show that keeping your cool can help you save on fuel. Speeding up makes your engine perform less and in the process, it makes your vehicle use up more fuel.

So what do you do to make your car use fuel efficiently?

Giving your accelerator even pressure makes your car use fuel efficiently. With that in mind, those quick starts and quick stops should be minimized - or even avoided. If your car is equipped with the cruise control, use this feature to maintain your speed.

Cleaning up your car could also help you save fuel. Unnecessary items you have in your car add to the total weight of the vehicle and that lessens the fuel efficiency of the engine. If you still have those soccer balls that your son does not even use anymore, your vehicle is not the right place to store them.
