| As rising oil and gas prices continue to reach record highs, it’s time to focus on saving fuel and money as well! Here are a few tips for you to save gas and money. Speeding, rapid acceleration and sudden braking results in consumption of excessive gas. It brings down the mileage by 33 percent at highway speeds and by 5 percent around town. So sensible driving is safer for you and others, so you may save more than gas money.
Right Maintenance Schedule for your driving habits and fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune or has failed an emissions test improves its gas mileage. This would immensely help in maximizing the life of the car and in saving fuel.
Several short trips consume more fuel than longer trip covering the same distance when the engine is warm. Trips should be planned when the engine is warmed-up, efficient, and ready for the long drive.
Then, choosing a car which is fuel efficient is equally important. The 2008 Versa from the Nissan stable offers a perfect combination of fuel efficiency, comfort, style, safety and versatility
All 2008 Versas feature a standard 16-valve 1.8-liter DOHC 4-cylinder engine and a choice of three transmissions: an available Nissan Xtronic CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that provides smooth shifting and enhanced fuel efficiency, available 4-speed electronically controlled automatic with overdrive or standard 6-speed manual transmission.
With 122 horsepower and 127 lb-ft of torque, the 1.8-liter engine is powerful and responsive, but it also delivers excellent fuel economy. Estimated 2008 EPA fuel economy is 27 mpg City/33 mpg Highway with the CVT transmission; 24 mpg City/31 mpg highway with the 4-speed automatic transmission; and 26 mpg City/31 mpg Highway with the 6-speed manual transmission.
