Control Your Fuel Costs Through Better Management
With the summer driving season approaching, now is the time to get your vehicle ready to help control your fuel costs. Here are some tips to help you maximize fuel efficiency through better management and maintenance:
- Keep tires properly inflated to improve gas mileage. Check tire pressure monthly or before long trips. Under-inflated tires create more rolling resistance with the road, wasting gas.
- Change dirty air filters and tune up the engine. Replacing clogged air filters allows better airflow and can improve mileage up to 10%. Regular tune-ups help keep the engine running efficiently.
- Drive smoothly without rapid acceleration or braking. Aggressive driving lowers MPG. Take it easy on the gas and brake pedals.
- Lighten the load and remove excess weight. Clear out unnecessary items in vehicles to reduce weight and improve MPG.
- Plan trip routes in advance to use less fuel. Combine multiple errands into one trip to limit cold starts and total miles driven.
Following these basic fuel efficiency tips through proactive vehicle management can put dollars back in your wallet this driving season. Regular maintenance goes a long way!
