If you're running low on gas in your car, is it better to drive fast or drive slow to avoid emptying the tank?

Question:
If you drive fast you'll get to your destination quicker? But if you drive slow maybe it'll save more gas until you hit "empty" on your car?

Okay, the faster you go the more gas you burn. Of course, you will get there faster, but you have a better chance of running out of gas. If your tank is almost empty...drive slower.it conserves gas. Drive at a steady speed. If you change speeds a lot you will also burn more gas.

Why are vehicles driven on opposite sides of the road in certain countries?

The best fuel economy will be obtained when the car is driven at a modest speed in the highest gear possible. Keep trying to lift your foot off the gas pedal without losing any speed. Maintain a steady pace wherever possible; avoid traffic jams and frequent stops and starts in urban areas. Time your driving to get through stop lights without stopping. If you do have to stop, accelerate away from a stop light moderately. No jack rabbit starts or high revving of the engine.

Whitch way does the traffic flow on W41st.St. in Cleve.,Ohio?

When the tank gauge hits empty you generally have a 20 mile reserve. It is not advised to let the tank get that empty because of water and dirt in the bottom of the tank, it's a good way to at least plug up your fuel filter; it is a good idea to start looking for a gas station when you hit a quarter tank. Most fuel is used during acceleration, so accelerate moderately and drive moderately ... and follow the first gas pump sign you see.
