Keeping acceleration to a moderate pace and keeping top speeds around 60 mph
also help increase your gas mileage. Also modifying your driving style to being
less like that of a race car driver will benefit your gas mileage. Race car
drivers accelerate until the last possible moment and then apply their brakes.
To increase gas mileage, look ahead and coast to slow down rather than
maintaining a current speed and stopping quickly.

Keeping your fuel system clean will also benefit your gas mileage. There are
several ways to clean the fuel system including:
-
Filling up with a tank of premium fuel which contains cleaning agents.
-
Adding fuel injector cleaner to your tank of gas.

Replace your spark plugs as recommended.
