# Sport utility vehicles naturally have poor fuel efficiency, mainly due to their large size.
# If you cannot improve your car’s gas mileage, seek ways to lower fuel consumption. When possible, walk, ride a bicycle, or form a carpool.
# Depending on your car’s make and model, driving with the windows rolled down instead of running the air conditioning may cause increased drag, and therefore be less efficient than running the air conditioning with the windows up.
# If your gas mileage suddenly plummets, see a mechanic. Your car may have a serious problem.
