"Flex Your Power at the Pump" is California’s statewide effort to educate and encourage people and organizations to use gasoline more efficiently this summer – saving money and contributing to a healthy economy and environment. This effort brings together the state’s residents, businesses, community organizations, institutions, and local governments to take voluntary actions that help save fuel.

As part of our commitment to this campaign, we are taking several measures to ensure fuel-efficient operations, educating our employees about how to save energy and helping the state educate the public.

Here’s what you can do to save up to 15% in fuel usage:

• Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure.

• Use your car air conditioning selectively. Better yet, hop onboard an air-conditioned Golden Gate Transit bus.

• Observe the posted speed limits. It’s safer and saves gas.

Additional steps to save gasoline include:

• Accelerate smoothly and brake gradually.

• Take advantage of cruise control.

• Properly maintain your vehicle and replace your air and oil filters as recommended.

• Minimize the amount of time your vehicle idles.

• Avoid excessive idling, which gets 0 miles per gallon.
