  • Track fill-ups for a month. Actual MPG is usually 10% lower than the sticker.
  • Round-trip errand batching once a week saves the equivalent of a full tank each month.

Frequently asked questions

How can I improve my MPG?

Smoother acceleration + steady 65 mph highway speed gets 10–15% better MPG. Proper tire pressure adds 2–3%. Roof cargo cuts 15–20%.

Do premium gas grades save money?

Only if your engine requires premium. Otherwise it's a $0.50/gallon donation with no measurable benefit.

Is it cheaper to fill up on weekdays?

Yes, usually. Tuesday/Wednesday mornings have the lowest average price. Prices climb 5–20¢ heading into weekends.

What about EVs?

Cost per mile is typically 1/3 of gas. Home charging is even cheaper — public fast-charging can approach gas prices if you rely on it.
