Driving at a steady pace saves gas

Rapid acceleration and quick stops can reduce fuel economy.

Avoid rapid acceleration and hard braking.
Drive at the posted speed limit. Increasing your highway cruising speed from 100 kph (62 mph) to 120 kph (75 mph) can increase fuel consumption by about 20 percent.
Use cruise control to maintain a constant speed on the highway.
Accelerate smoothly when passing or merging with traffic.
