[Halifax to Vancouver in a Smart Car](http://www.treehugger.com/files/2007/07/halifax_to_vanc.php)
Wow..now here’s a fuel efficient car. From Halifax to Vancouver in 337 litres of gas!!! Honestly speaking, the normal cars which most of us drive are four seater. But do we actually need the extra seats all the time. May be occasionally but not always, rite?. Your cars are basically carrying unnecessary weight all the time so that resulted in more gas needed to drive the car and people on board and I would say that’s a waste of fuel. Personally, I think there are many ways to save up gas:
* Do not put things that aren’t necessary into you car as that will increase the load.
* Personal driving habits, don’t step on the pedal even if you see a stop sign in front of you.
* Drive at reasonable speed on the high way, the faster you drive the more drag you car will create.
* Do not fuel you gas tank to 100% as that will carry extra weight as well. Optimal fueling would be 50% to 60%. (Not too sure about this, may be its a myth)
* Plan your trip. Ask for directions if you are lost!!
