Garmin have just launched ecoRoute where you can save money on fuel costs by finding more fuel-efficient routes.
These routes are selected by factoring in fuel consumption data, the number of stops, speed limits, and more. ecoRoute also gives you real-time feedback on the efficiency of your driving. Whether it’s a slower start from a standstill or maintaining an efficient speed, you’ll know what driving techniques help you save gas and money.
It automatically calculates details about your travel time and fuel usage. You’ll see time and distance traveled as well as the cost of fuel used and average fuel economy.
It even scores your driving habits so if you over accelerate all of the time ecoRoute will score you low. In order to improve your score you need to drive more efficiently. I love the fact that it will bring a new element to and make you think more about your driving.

Looking to go farther for less money? Check out these fuel-saving tips to help you make the most of each mile.
1. Lose Weight
If you’ve got a boot full of items you don’t need for each trip, leave them behind. The less your car weighs, the less gas you need to move it.
2. Ease into the Breeze
Roof racks can be a drag – at least from a wind-resistance standpoint. If you can carry your load inside your car instead of on top of it, you’ll save more in the long run. And in the short run.
3. Get Pressured
Low tire pressure can result in high fuel costs. Check your tires often and maintain the recommended air pressure.
4. Get in Tune
Make sure your car is good health. Dirty air filters, worn tires, and clogged fuel filters can all lead to increased fuel consumption.
5. Keep Your Cool
It’s best to buy gasoline during the coolest part of the day. Gas, which is sold by volume, is at its densest during this time. Usually, early morning or late evening is the best time for filling up.
