Install Ryden!
We feel strongly that adding Ryden to your vehicle is the best way to reduce your fuel consumption and toxic vehicle waste emissions. We feel that if you use the same driving habits after adding Ryden you will realize fuel savings of up to 30% as well as a reduction in toxic emissions of up to 50%. Most people will find a noticeable difference in the performance of their engine within a very short time depending on the mileage driven, and then use this new found power by simply driving faster, thus reducing their savings. Ryden is not a fuel or oil additive. Please see Ryden installation page for proper instructions as to adding Ryden to your new or older vehicle. Please note: read instructions carefully.

Get your foot out of the carburetor!
That's passe advice, before fuel injected engines were designed, but the idea works whether your car has a carburetor or not. Regardless of how restricting it feels to some of us, the speed limit set a few years back is still the most efficient speed for most vehicles - and that extra speed won't get you there much faster anyway.
Don't jump the light!
When the light turns red, take off slowly and smoothly - you'll gain speed almost as fast as if you punched the accelerator, and you'll save wasted gas that pours through your system unused.
Slow down and take it easy!
As soon as you can see you'll need to stop, take your foot off the accelerator and let the car slow down under it's own compression. You'll still have to use the brake, unless you started slowing down way back there, but you won't be using gas to get that last 300 or so feet.
'Revving' your engine is not good!
Years ago "revving" or racing an engine was thought to be cool by the younger set, and sometimes still is. Not cool; it's stressing the engine, especially if you do it while the engine is cold. Even if it's warmed up, you're wasting gasoline and wear and tear on it unnecessarily. We repeat - it's not cool.
Use the proper octane for your vehicle!
High octane gasoline may be needed for some engines, but find out if yours will run just as well on less. On a nearly empty tank, put in five gallons of a lower octane than you normally use, and if there's no appreciable difference (except for the change in your pocket), find a lower octane gas when that runs out. Keep going until you can tell the difference, then step up one rating. Note: If your engine starts pinging or making other strange noises, increase the octane rating by adding a higher octane gasoline to your tank. This is why you need to test 5 gallons at a time.
Idling is for days off, not cars.
Don't sit still for more than two minutes with your engine running. It takes less gas to start the engine again than it does to idle longer than that. Pay attention to other times than just when you're in a traffic jam - sitting in the driveway, waiting in line anywhere, showing off your new car.
Give it some air.
Did you ever try to ride a bicycle with a low tire? It's hard to do! Much harder than riding one with fully inflated, firm tires. So keep the tires on your car inflated to the manufacturers recommendations. Check the pressure when the tire is cold - that's the right reading. If you have to go to the service station to inflate a tire, take the cold pressure reading first, for each tire, and check it against the recommended reading. If you're a pound or two shy, make note of it. When you get to the service station, the reading will be higher (because heat expands the air in the tire), so go ahead and add the extra pound or whatever you needed when the tire was cold.
In other words:
Pressure when cold = 29 pounds
Manufacturer's recommendation = 32 pounds, or a difference of 3 pounds.
Pressure when hot = 32 pounds
Add 3 pounds = 35 pounds
When the tire is cold again, the pressure will be 32 pounds, which is what the manufacturer recommended, and is the proper pressure for this tire.
We hope these saving gas tips will help you to not only keep a little extra change in your jeans, but also reduce emissions and thereby contributing less to greenhouse gasses and environmental decay.
