Combining trips
Selecting which vehicle to purchase is the most important fuel economy decision you'll make.
The difference between a car that gets 20 MPG and one that gets 30 MPG amounts to $652 per year (assuming 15,000 miles of driving annually and a fuel cost of $2.61).
That's $3,262 extra in fuel costs over five years!
