It’s not complicated to save gas, you don’t need any fancy vortex converters or gas saving devices. Neither do you need magnetic energy boosters for your fuel line. Most of these are the modern version of snake oil.
With this being the first post in the blog I’m going to give you a top three gas saving checklist.
1. Check that you have proper air pressure in your tires
2. Remove roof racks, bicycle racks, fancy extra lights if you don’t really need them, unused antennas. They all makes the aerodynamics of your car bad and increases fuel consumption.
3. Drive less if you can. Walk or use the bike on short local trips. Do more on one trip to town and cancel the other.
All these can significantly reduce your gas costs and are easy to do.
Remember we have the gas mileage calculator on the main page where you can check your mpg while working on improving it.

I can align with you and thats what everyone should bear in mind before even purchase a roof rack of any kind.
I even run a small site about roof racks and have learn a lot on the way. I have collected 12 Roof Rack Tips and published them on the first page. Gas consumption is just one of them.
Take care,
