Tired of reading the same old gas mileage tips in article after article? Here's one that you might not have read before ... it's remarkably effective. You can easily increase your gas mileage by 20% just by lifting your right foot at the right times.

Once you learn when to lift your foot off the accelerator pedal, you unlock a simple secret that's built into most modern vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. Removing your foot from the pedal sends a signal to the vehicle's computer that allows it to cut the amount of fuel flowing through the injection system to a minimum. Do this at the right times and with enough frequency, and you'll save a considerable amount of fuel.
