Today,with modern technology, the opposite is true. An engineoperating under road conditions will warm up faster and nunmore efficiently than the one that is idling. Idling justburns gas (on average, about a gallon an hour) .When you have a full tank of gas, park the car downhill.This will prevent any gas from ing out of the tank. Parkingin areas of less or no sunlight helps prevent the gas fromsteaming that would our if you parked in the hot sun. Yourcar will stay cooler, too, and that means less gasconsuming work for the air conditioner once the engine isstarted.Stay away from wide-track tires if you want top mileage (汽车消耗 1 加仑油所行驶的路程)。Narrow-track tires produceless friction and thus less rolling resistance. The sameeffect is achieved by adding three to five pounds aboveremended pressure to each tire; while this wont noticeablyaffect your cars sliding quality, it will increase tirelife and gas mileage.Check tire pressure often, especially when the weatherturns cold. The difference between winter and summer tirepressure can be as much as eight pounds. This could costyou two miles per gallon.36.

Chances are that thecareer you want, whether in nursing, counseling, law, ormanagement, requires a college education.
