| mileage for short trips? I already take it easy during acceleration and deceleration. I travel on roads that are 25-40 mph, and I strictly stick to the speed limit since it's mostly residential. Am I wasting gas by warming the car up for a few minutes before leaving or does this help it since it's warmer when it's at speed? Any other tips for improving gas mileage for these short trips? My car is an automatic (and 2005). Unfortunately, alternative methods such as bike are not possible because frequently, I am called away to customers that are 30-40 or more miles away and I need to be ready, wherever, whenever. I figured it was the right thing to do to look into making sure I was doing everything to make all of my driving efficient. I probably carry approx. 100 pounds of tools (safety kit and for my job), so that could be why I never see the factory mileage ratings. |
