ElantraClub - For Elantra Owners and Enthusiasts _ Elantra General Discussions _ Gas saving tips

I may have another recommendation:

- Buy 87 to 89 gasoline. With our cars, you will not get better gas mileage with 91. 91 explodes more slowly than lower indices gasoline and could give you virtually less power if you reach the timing adjustment limit on your engine for the same consumption.

I have noticed that red lights are gas consumption killers. It may be nice using (large) turnabouts in US: much safer (accidents are not frontal and at lower speeds), no light, less need to stop.

Oh one other thing, I would be curious to know how much gas our cars burn idling per hour? For sure hybrids have the palm there tongue.gif
