20．From snow-clogged mountain roads to desert highways，freeways to crowded city streets，Californians face a variety of tough driving conditions．But thanks to savvy driving，they consume proportionately less gasoline the rest of the nation．Here，some tips from the Golden State that will help drivers all over the country to get up to 25% more miles per gallon!By SUSAN NESTOR
FREEWAY FRENZY
●Try to maintain a steady speed-especially on freeways and expressways．Never exceed a steady 55 mph．Varying speed by as little as 5mph can reduce mileage by 1.5 miles per gallon．Avoid constant lane changes to"get ahead．"
●Buy radial tyres． If you do a lot of expressway driving，they can increase mileage by as much as 10%．Your fuel savings will pay for the higher tyre price．
ON CITY STREETS
●Plan your route．City driving consumes about 50% more fuel than highway driving （100% more in crowed traffic）．Always choose a route with synchronized traffic signals to get the best run for your money．
●Avoid unnecessary braking． Anticipate（预期）traffic light changes； it takes a lot of extra gas to get the car up to speed again．
COLD
●In winter，keep the car in a garage． It will start up easier，and start-up time is when you use the most gasoline．No garage？Cover the engine compartment with an old blanket or rug to shield it from cold winds； remove before starting up．
●Remove all ice and snow． Driving in snow consumes more gas anyway； no sense hauling around extra weight．
