What's the best way to stretch the amount of gas in your tank to get the most mileage?

Gas Stretch How

I'm sure you are looking for a technical answer, but the best way in my opinion is to drive only a well tuned car and drive less!

Make sure your car is tuned up and that your tires have the proper pressure in them. Drive slower. You do not need to speed your not saving a lot of time anyways. Try not to brake hard and jack rabbit start. A slow decrease in speed or a slow acceleration will help save gas and get better milage out of a tank of gas.

Doing some of these things I went from a tank every 10 days to a tank every 14 days.

Keeping the car well tuned is part but also how you drive.

Jack rabbit start and stops kill gas millage faster then any thing else. The starting of the motor is where you burn all the gas in town because you have to over come the inertia of the car. Once rolling it does much better.


Properly inflated tires help reduce road friction also. Not carrying extra weight in the car, keep windows wound up and use a/c.

Have a truck put on a bed cover to reduce wind drag but keep that tailgate up unless you are trying to kill some one.
