-tips/advice on how to save gas or anything else that is neccesary! 1. Lubecontrol engine oil & fuel additive! This stuff works really well!
2. Avoid full throttle starts. Ease on the gas, try not to get past 4k rpms on average. Don't redline.
3. Wait until the gas light comes on to fill up, and then fill up to 5 gallons.
4. No air conditioning.
5. Check tire pressure.
