Fuel consumption gauges in any car act as mirrors reflecting how efficient a driver you are, if you really do care for your environment and your burning pockets. The gauge on the instrument panel keeps on convincing drivers to drive more efficiently.
You can easily save from 1-7 miles per gallon by keeping your eye on the needle or training your leg bumping the accelerator to be a bit soft by slowing down in stead of slamming the brakes. You can equip your hybrid with one with many of such available in the market such as the ScanGauge.
So just a little bit of prudence and patience and you can save your number of trips to the gas station.‘For example, if you drive 12,000 miles per year, and boost your fuel economy from 27-30 mpg by driving smart, that’s 44 gallons of gas saved, or about $120 per year, or about what a ScanGuage will cost you.’
