MPG?

            What is MPG? MPG is the miles per gallon. It is the distance of how far a vehicle can travel per gallon. Your actual mpg may very depending on the kind of vehicle you own, its maintenance and the manner its driven. The cars mpg is very important if you are looking to buy a fuel-efficient automobile. When it comes to mpg, there are many factors that can increase or decrease your gas mileage. They are automotive care, driving behaviors(hypermiling) and consistency. The main key to having a high mpg is consistency because you have to be consistent with your cars maintenance schedule and your driving habits. The side effects of being "mpg conscientious" are longer tire renewals, less engine and  transmission wear, less brake wear and usage, higher service intervals, less visits to the local auto store, lowered probability of an unexpected engine problem, LOWER emissions, less pollution in the EARTH, less dependence on foreign oil, relaxation, peacefulness, increased SAFETY and MORE money staying in your pocket.

You can easily calculate your MPG by taking the total number of miles traveled and the amount of gallons used.  For example, if on my last trip I traveled 400 miles and I used 14 gallons my mpg would be 28.6.  That would mean that on that last trip, I averaged 28.6 miles per gallon. Here's the equation: (400miles/14gallons=28.6mpg). Every decision you make has a consequence or a reward, in this blog I will help you increase your mpg.  My question is what is your mpg?

About MPG (Miles per Gallon)

            Hello, my name is Jairo Antonio Mendoza and I am 28 years old. In this blog I want to show you how to increase your gas mileage change. Like most cars, you most probably buy gasoline for your car just like me and pay for it. I don't like paying for gas, I'd rather use that money for something else. When I first bought my car, it was running in a bad condition, it was wasting more fuel, it was emitting more pollutants into the air and to top it off I was driving like a maniac.

         I had to replace and service many things such as the tires, battery, engine oil/filter, air filter, spark plugs, throttle body, brakes, electric and fuel system. At this time my gas mileage was lower than the EPA estimates and I was paying it with my wallet by visiting the gas pump more than I had too. I've changed my driving behaviors and kept up with the car's maintenance. Furthermore, Ive raised this little car's mpg well over the EPA estimates.  I had a strong urge to learn and it took me a while to increase my gas mileage with my car. 

         I created this sites in hopes that drivers out there can read these articles and improve their gas mileage. With a consistent worldwide effort we can lower our cars emissions and emit less pollution. When I come across a person that does not know about mpg, I can give them a long lecture about mpg. With best regards, I hope you can take something from this site and apply it to your car. Stay tuned for upcoming posts, I will post new material on a weekly basis.

P.S. Drive Safe!
