I have a ford laser sport '91. It's 1500cc

When the car is warmed up I can travel at 60km whilst doing 1500revs. I usually stick to this speed when I'm on a backroad. Am i saving gas, would I be saving more gas if i went 100km?

Also I usually travel 80km-90km on the highway (slow I know) Will i be saving more gas?

Please give me some speed tips on saving gas.

Also; say I'm on an open road and I'm going 30km at 1500revs and put my foot down to hit 2500revs till i get to 60km then just stay at that speed or will I save more gas just letting it gradually pick up. Mainly because if it revs for longer at a slower speed I figure I'm waster gas

I get about 2550revs – 2600revs at 100km. It's just about the 2 1/2 rev mark.

The first thing to understand is the co-efficient of drag. The faster you go, the harder the air is that your car is pushing through. In America, they set the speed limit to 55mph in the 1970's energy crisis to save energy. As a result of keeping people in the softer air of slower speeds, there was a tremendous savings of fuel overall.

The RPM of the engine doesn't really tell you how much fuel you're using. Think about this: When you are going downhill, you're using very little gas pedal to produce 1500RPM, but going uphill would require you to push the pedal most of the way down to accomplish the same rev.

You will save gas by avoiding heavy acceleration, for sure. Fuel consumption is directly related to the position of the throttle, so the further down you're pusing it, the more fuel you're gonna use. Gentle acceleration is definitely more economical.

Best rule of thumb, find the level of acceleration that allows the gears to shift without feeling much of a jerk in the car.

I want to save more money. How can I save money, for example, on lunch costs at work? How much is reasonable to spend every day on lunch and snacks?

Also, what are some good ideas on saving money when purchasing goods and services? For example, buying generic or store brands, etc. Buying in bulk…and so forth. Thank you.

First you have to do a budget. Find out what you're spending money on. Once you have everything listed, cut out what you really don't need. Save what's left over.

Try and get your cash flow (what's left over) positive and as high as possible then save it all. Working overtime or taking odd jobs can add to your cash flow.

Make the money work for you. Make sure you at least put the money in a high APY savings account. There are several out there and they are easy to set up. Links to them are below.

Specific Money Saving Tips
1. Gas – Don't drive aggressively. Keep your tires properly inflated and your car in tune.

2. Home energy – In winter put on a sweatshirt and put your thermostat on 68. In summer, dress like your outside and put your A/C on 72 or higher and use ceiling fans if you have them. Use florescent bulbs wherever possible and always turn off lights when not in immediate use.

3. Shopping – Price compare online whenever possible. At the grocery store, use generic brands. Most of them contain the same ingredients. Use coupons.
