Can I make changes to my car that will help reduce fuel burn?

Drop The Weight

Car racks can interfere with aerodynamics, forcing your car to work harder and burn more fuel. Extra weight in the trunk also generates more fuel burn. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, carrying an extra 100 pounds in your car can add an extra $.03 - $.06 per gallon.
