North Lake students are known to rack up quite a few miles commuting to and from campus burning precious fuel.

With that in mind, here are a few tips, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas. It can lower your gas mileage by 33 percent.

Each 5 mph you drive over 60 mph is like paying an additional $0.21 per gallon for gas.

Idling gets 0 miles per gallon. Cars with larger engines typically waste more gas at idle than cars with smaller engines.
