There's not much we can do about the price of gas in Farmington Hills Michigan , but we do quite a bit about how much we use as we're driving on our Farmington Hills streets.
Our driving habits can dramatically affect our fuel economy.
The first thing we can do is watch the 'go-pedal'. Hard acceleration just sucks the gas. Gently leave stop lights and plan lane changes so you don't need to floor it. That can save you hundreds of dollars a year.

Hey at current gas prices, a lead-foot might as well be a gold foot.
