Michelle Singletary advises that to save on gasoline, we should, among other things, slow down. Stop speeding. The faster you drive, the more gas you use, the more money you spend. Each 5 mph over 60 is equivalent to paying an extra 10 cents per gallon for gas.... Avoid aggressive driving and quick starts and stops. At highway speeds, you'll lower your gas mileage by about 33 percent.
In simple terms, when you push the gas pedal down in a gasoline powered vehicle, you open the throttle or intake valve and increase your speed. When you release the gas pedal, close the intake valve or throttle back, you slow down [source: Nice ]. When you go downhill, you let off the gas and press the brake. If the hill is steep, you might even shift into a lower gear to help you slow down and avoid riding the brakes. Â­In semitrailers, letting off the gas doesn't slow the rig the same way it slows a passenger vehicle.
