Just wanted to share some gas saving tips with you that I hope you feel are useful and will share with other customers, friends, prospective customers, or whomever your feel could benefit. Using these simple tips, I was able to increase my MPG on a tank of gas by 3 MPG from 21 to 24 MPG on a 4L V6.. If you have additional tips - send them to me - I'd love to hear them!
(1) Fill your tires to the maximum allowable pressure as stated on the sidewall of the tire, however, do not over inflate. This reduces rolling friction, and will increase mileage.
(2) Fill your engine's crankcase with the manufacturers specified oil, which for most new cars is 5w20. Add a bottle of DWG Polyguard-1 Oil Treatment. This improves the lubricating characteristics of the oil and reduces friction.
(3) Get to the highest numerical gear in your transmission as soon as you can. In transmission design, there is a ratio call the "N over V" or N / V ratio. This is the ratio of Engine Speed (N) to Vehicle Speed (V). Your vehicle gets the best gas mileage when the N / V ratio is as close to 1 as possible. This means at low engine speed and high vehicle speed. This occurs in the highest numerical gear in your transmission (4th, 5th, or 6th).
(4) Coast whenever you can. Going down hills or approaching a stop sign in the distance, put your transmission in Neutral and coast. This lowers your engine speed to idle, while getting a very low N/ V ratio during the coast. If your vehicle has an onboard computer that computes instantaneous MPG, check what it reads when you coast from 50 MPH while in Neutral - it will max out.
(5) Keep your vehicle clean using DRY WASH 'n GUARD(R) Waterless Car Wash. Clean vehicles slip through the air with less effort than dirty vehicles, reducing the coefficient of drag, and hence improving mileage.Enjoy!
