If you’re like most people, you probably don’t enjoy spending time behind the wheel of a manual car. But there are ways to make the experience more enjoyable, and even some tricks that can help you save gas.

  1. Get used to shifting gears manually. Shifting gears manually is something that takes some getting used to, but it’s worth it in the long run. Not only will you save gas by not using automatic transmission, but you’ll also get a better sense of how your car handles and learn how to drive it more efficiently.
  2. Drive slowly in traffic. When driving in traffic, try to drive as slowly as possible without causing any accidents. This will not only save gas, but it will also help reduce congestion on the roads.
  3. Use your cruise control sparingly. Cruise control is a great tool for reducing stress on the engine, but use it sparingly if possible. If you need to use cruise control, set it at a lower speed so that the engine doesn’t overheat and fail prematurely.
  4. Avoid accelerating quickly from a stop or from a low gear when driving on hills or highways." ..
