Wife driving car= bad mpg - Toyota Yaris Forums

Kal-El · 05-17-2009, 07:42 PM

Not to pick on women, but I've noticed that their style of driving is generally inefficient.

Not necessarily from speeding, because men do it to. In fact, many men are guilty of what I'm about to point out but it just seems more common among women.

- Over use of brakes!!! One of the worse things you can do for mileage (and overall wear and tear).

- Lack of grace (ironic). Women tend to drive very "jerky". Bad mpg resulting.

- And a lack of sense on how engines operate efficiently (no offense).

And just overall bad habits as mentioned earlier like giving gas even when you're approaching a red light or traffic jam.
