Spring is here which means that summer vacations are around the corner. With the growing cost of fuel everyone is looking to get better gas mileage. Packing light will help you save. The less weight your car or an airplane has to carry the more fuel efficient it will be. To get ready for your summer trips I would suggest the following fuel saving tips:
For Road Trips:
Keep your tires properly inflated
Keep your air and fuel filters clean
Clean out your car. Extra weight reduces your cars efficency
On the highway drive 65mph (every 5mph over is ~ 7% loss in fuel efficiency)
Remove your roof rakes if not in use to reduce drag on the car
When Flying:
Travel light
Help the airlines use less fuel by bringing less stuff on the trip. For packing advice I would recomend reading the one bag project. They highlight a lot of great tips for packing light.
