⛽ Road Trip Pro-Tips

  • Watch Your Speed: Most vehicles hit peak efficiency between 50 and 60 mph. Driving faster increases aerodynamic drag and burns significantly more fuel.
  • Check Tire Pressure: Under-inflated tires can drop fuel economy by 0.2% for every 1 psi lost. Check your pressure before you leave to save at the pump.
  • Know Your Units: While the US and UK use Miles Per Gallon (MPG), most of Europe and Asia use kilometers per liter (km/L) or liters per 100km. Ensure your settings match your rental car's dashboard.
