Now that gas prices are starting to inch back up, your NJ Chevrolet dealership wants to offer some tips on saving gas. One of the best things you can do to save gas is to drive the speed limit. Although an unpopular tip, slowing down behind the wheel is one of the most effective things you can do to squeeze a few extra miles out of each gallon of gas.

One of the most common misconceptions that people have about driving faster than the speed limit is they save a lot of time. However, the time saved is often minimal if it’s even noticeable. This website has a table that calculates how much time you would save by going various speeds over the speed limit. For instance, if you drive 20 minutes to work each day, you only save about five minutes of travel time if you decide to drive 70 instead of the posted 55 the entire way.

Of course, there are other factors to take into consideration. But going the speed limit has many other advantages besides fuel efficiency. Isn’t the extra few minutes worth it so you don’t have to worry about getting a ticket when you’re on the highway?

If gas prices continue to rise, you can bet your Chevrolet dealership will offer tips on saving fuel. You can help yourself by visiting your Lumberton area Chevrolet dealer and getting a fuel-efficient model or even a hybrid version of your favorite car. Do it today before gas prices go up any higher!

Your Chevy dealerships want to commend drivers for changing their driving habits despite the recent decline in gas prices. A recent study shows that about 52 percent of American drivers have continued to drive more efficiently even though gas prices are less than half of what they were a few months ago. It’s like the $4 a gallon prices scared them and they are prepared for another hike in prices at any time. On the other hand, about 12 percent of drivers have gone back to their old driving habits.

The new study, released by Gallup.com, breaks down the findings even further. According to the data, drivers in the upper-income range (more than $75,000 annually) were the least likely to change their driving habits when prices went up. However, the age of the driver did not matter much when it came to changing driving habits.

In a twist, the data showed that drivers in the lower-income range were more likely to return to their old driving habits. About 19 percent of people making less than $75,000 a year say they have disregarded their fuel-saving habits since prices have gone down.

Whether you’re back to your old driving habits or if you’ve held on to your fuel-efficient ways, your Marlton area Chevrolet dealer has a car to fit your needs. Check one out today!
