Keep Your Batmobile in Tip-Top Shape

You're probably still gonna need to get around, so if public transit or car sharing won't work for you, make sure your ride's running as efficiently and thriftily as possible.

• Check your tire pressure - properly inflated tires = saving about seven cents per gallon while keeping the air cleaner. Check out our video to see how to do it.
• Drive slower - every 10 mph over 60 can cost you up to 4 mpg.
• Take stuff outta your trunk - unload stuff you don't need (chains in June?); more weight means you need more gas to lug it around.
• Replace your air filter - changing your air filter can increase your mileage by up to 10%. Peep our video for a brief tutorial.
