The #1 Waste Of Gas (Says Triple A)

According to Consumerist, there are lots of ways to wate gas, including keeping your trunk full and idling excessively. But, the number one waste of gas is the classic one a lot of us tend to ignore:

The U.S. Department of Energy reports that the average driver can improve mileage by 3.3 percent simply by inflating their vehicle’s tires regularly. In fact, according to the AAA, under-inflated tires are the No. 1 way we waste gas. One out of every four cars and one out of every three pickups, vans, and SUVs have at least one extremely low tire.
