America's businesses are angry at the government's failure to regulate
gasoline prices. What choices do Americans have when it comes to trying to
save on gasoline? We can use a courier service such as CFI Delivery, which
an average delivery for a business runs $8.40, equivalent to 2.5 gallons of
gas. The savings are even greater when you do the ROI breakdown including
employee's hourly wages and starting and stopping in the middle of a
project.

Having a courier do the task is saving you money on not having to pay
benefits as well, or keeping up with a delivery vehicle, maintenance and
insurance on that vehicle. The other choose we have is to do the following
below every time we get behind the wheel of our vehicle. Website

Drive Sensibly
Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and
braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent at highway
speeds and by 5 percent around town. Sensible driving is also safer for you
and others, so you may save more than gas money.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 5-33% Equivalent Gasoline Savings:
$0.16-$1.02/gallon
Observe the Speed Limit
While each vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed
(or range of speeds), gas mileage usually decreases rapidly at speeds above
60 mph. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over 60
mph is like paying an additional $0.20 per gallon for gas. Observing the
speed limit is also safer.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 7-23% Equivalent Gasoline Savings:
$0.22-$0.71/gallon
Remove Excess Weight
Avoid keeping unnecessary items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones.
An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your MPG by up to 2%. The
reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the
vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.
Fuel Economy Benefit: 1-2%/100 lbs Equivalent Gasoline Savings:
$0.03-$0.06/gallon
Avoid Excessive Idling
Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste
more gas at idle than do cars with smaller engines.
Use Cruise Control
Using cruise control on the highway helps you maintain a constant speed
and, in most cases, will save gas.
Use Overdrive Gears
When you use overdrive gearing, your car's engine speed goes down. This
saves gas and reduces engine wear.
Note: Cost savings are based on an assumed fuel price of $3.10/gallon.
