Beyond everyday safe driving, what surprises many drivers is that they already have tools in the Allstate app to help them save.

Properly inflated tires help vehicles run more efficiently, especially on long highway drives.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Clear out your trunk and roof racks.<\/strong>\u00a0Extra weight forces your engine to work harder. Removing unnecessary items from your trunk, roof\u00a0rack\u00a0or cargo area can improve mileage and make your vehicle easier to control during sudden stops.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Drive smoother, not faster.<\/strong>\u00a0Rapid acceleration,\u00a0speeding\u00a0and hard braking burn more fuel and increase crash risk.
