Compare the mileage of the car per gallon of gas by doing gas mileage comparisons to establish which one is most suitable

When buying a car of any types proper comparisons are needed to get the best car according to your budget. Aside from comparing the price the other best thing to do is the gas mileage comparisons. This process compares the mileage of the car per gallon of gas or more known as MPG. This is the rate of the distance traveled by the car and its rate of gas consumption. Cars with higher MPG are the ones that consume less gas in a given type of driving as in highway or city driving. With the same car, city driving burns more gas than the highway driving because of more shifting and longer time spent in a traffic jam.

You don’t have to spend a fortune on a hybrid car to save money on gas. In fact you can easily modify your own vehicle to run on a combination of gas and water and double your gas mileage. It’s very affordable and easy to do. This article will show you how I went from 21 MPG to 39 MPG in my 1995 Isuzu pickup for just $105 total.
