Are You A Good Driver?

-

Bad drivers accelerate rapidly; sometimes called jack rabbit starts. This is hard on your vehicle mechanically, wears out the tires prematurely, and wastes gasoline horribly.

-

Bad drivers constantly speed up and slow down; good drivers maintain a constant speed.

-

It takes a skillful driver to get better fuel economy than the government ratings. But it is very possible indeed. My Toyota Corolla is rated at 32 mpg city and 41 highway. Since I filled up 187 miles ago I have driven probably 60% on the highway and 40% in town. And my average fuel economy since this fillup has been 53.9 mpg. This is not luck, this is skill.
