Gas Saving Tips For Van Drivers

Thursday, 1 December 2011

Since vans are not as fuel efficient as most cars and as fuel prices grow ever skyward, there are some easy tips van drivers could take to cut expenses. Major changes that are consistently followed can save significant money over time. Simple things like driving in a more consistent rate rather than accelerating and hard braking and certain van accessories could wind up saving big bucks.

Keep the engine tuned. You can save 10% to 20% on fuel consumption by proper maintenance and following your manual’s schedule for yearly tune-ups.

Underinflated tires cause fuel consumption to increase by 6%. Look at the manufacturers’ label for your vans’ proper tire pressure. The higher number should be used for maximum fuel efficiency.
