Andretti offers tips to save gasoline on standard driving
Racing legend Mario Andretti outlines fuel saving rules in Petroleum Today. He cites proper tire pressure, noting 24 to 26 psi wastes fuel and over 30 psi saves fuel, while high pressures suit racing. He warns weak plugs waste up to 10 percent, and engines should be tuned every 8,000 miles. Regular air filter changes, avoiding unnecessary braking, and using correct octane prevent extra costs.
