About this calculator
MPG-improvement tactics with rough effect: proper tire pressure (1-3% MPG), removing roof rack (3-5%), smooth driving / no jackrabbit (10-15%), keeping under 65 mph (10-15% past 65), regular oil changes (1-2%), air filter (1-2%), reducing weight (1% per 100 lb). Bigger gains come from: bigger-engine downsize (15-25%), going from gas to hybrid (25-50%), gas to EV (75-95%). Note: small MPG gains feel less impactful than they are — going from 18 to 22 MPG saves more gas than 35 to 40.
