Re: Ways to safe fuel.

Well if your on a highway and slam on your brakes coming up to a light... and traffic starts moving as you slow down further and further... you have to accelerate more to get to the speed you were previously at.

On the other hand if you slow down gradually, you wont have to regain as much speed.

That only really applies if you need to accelerate back to speed. Slowing down quickly to sit at a light really wouldn't matter.

Acceleration uses the majority of your gas. Hense the reason you get better gas mileage on road trips and constant highway / freeway use.
