Prices for automotive fuel are constantly increasing as the world’s oil consumption continues to grow. It is highly unlikely that we will ever see oil prices go down, unless we manage to discover some kind of alternative fuel which is easily renewable. There are a few secrets which the large oil companies don’t want you to figure out, which can help you to reduce your fuel consumption. The processes, when properly implemented, allow you to gain a substantial increase in mileage, which in turn helps you to save on fuel costs and makes the world a cleaner and greener place. The increase in mileage is so great that these processes are collectively called ‘hypermiling techniques’ and those who successfully manage to reduce their gas consumption and therefore save costs are called hypermilers for being part of the community of people who have increased their automobile mileage significantly.

One of the first things you will need to do in order to start hypermiling is to install a scanning gauge into your car computer system so that you can track your exact mileage, fuel costs and the amount of fuel consumed with time. These figures are the first step towards becoming a hypermiler, for we can then use these figures to help you to manage your cars mileage effectively.

The next step is to ensure that the air pressure levels in your tyres are at their correct level. The correct air pressure can help a lot in decreasing fuel consumption. To further decrease fuel consumption, you can also jettison all unnecessary things you may be carrying around. This will go a long way in increasing mileage by increasing your miles per gallon reading by around 10%. Some of the things which you can discard safely are a spare tyre and your jack. You can simply replace them with a cell phone, and some kind of a road insurance policy or an Automobile Association membership which covers helping you when you are stuck with a flat tyre. For the sake of safety you can keep a small kit of flat tyre fixing compound in your car.

Changing your oil to low friction synthetic helps to increase mileage significantly. You can gain a further boost by maintaining your spark plugs, wiring and air filter regularly. All these things can add another 10-15% increase in your mileage. Similarly you can also save a lot of fuel and gain another 15% by shutting off your air conditioner and shutting off your engine when waiting for more than 30 seconds at traffic signals.

However the greatest mileage boost you will receive is by adding some pure acetone into your gas tank. It is important to get pure acetone as impurities will make the fuel mixture dangerous and may even damage your engine. You also need to be careful when handling acetone for acetone dissolves paint, so you should not bring it into contact with the paint on your car, avoid skin contact and not inhale it. Adding a small amount of acetone helps in improving the longevity of your engine, improves combustion and increases mileage by almost 40%. As you can calculate, there has been a significant boost in your mileage, close to 55%. This gain helps you to save costs and keep the planet greener, so happy hypermiling!
