"Shutting an engine off at a light only saves gas if its a very long light as starting an engine takes quite a bit more gas than people might think, plus it”™ll burn out your starter much more quickly. " and you? I think this idea is truly.

So going 55 could make your mileage worse than 70, depending on gearing and engine power curves. Shutting an engine off at a light only saves gas if its a very long light as starting an engine takes quite a bit more gas than people might think, plus it'll burn out your starter much more quickly. High power demands on the highway means using A/C at higher speeds will put a lot of strain on your engine and have a MUCH bigger effect on mileage than the windows being down. If you drive a 400hp sports car, this isn't an issue but that isn't exactly your average vehicle... Using higher fuel grade constantly provides no benefits, but used occasionally can help keep your engine clean and help seals and such, so using it about once every 5-10 fill-ups depending on the exact engine can help mileage in the long run. Also, over-inflating tires can cause small drops in mileage and BIG drops in tread life. The speed that a car gets its optimal mileage at changes for every vehicle.
