1. Fuel Efficiency
o When setting out on your summer road trips, keep these tips in mind.
Driving more efficiently is better for the environment and better for
your wallet!
- Aggressive driving like rapid braking and acceleration lowers gas
mileage by 15%
- Use rear-mount cargo boxes instead of rooftop, which increases
wind resistance and lowers fuel economy
- Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a
constant speed and, in most cases, will save gas
