To help you handle the rising price of fuel, the expert mechanics at Wolf Motors Ford have come up with some quick driving and vehicle maintenance tips to help increase you vehicle’s gas mileage.
1. Keep the interior of your car clean. Extra cargo or weight slows down your vehicle and requires more fuel to operate.
2. Change your air filter regularly. A clogged air filter restricts the flow of air to your engine, forcing it to work harder.
3. Don’t accelerate too quickly. Sudden bursts of speed use up more gas than gradual speed increases.
4. Use cruise control. Maintaining a consistent speed is better for fuel efficiency.
5. Avoid higher speeds when you can. You burn a lot more fuel driving at 65 mph than you do driving at 55 mph.
6. Combine your daily trips and errands to save on gas. Carpooling is a great option also.
7. Maintain proper tire pressure. Driving on under-inflated tires reduces fuel efficiency and causes your tires to wear unevenly.
8. Limit your air conditioning use if you are able to. Your car’s A/C requires more fuel to operate.
9. Get regular oil changes. This keeps your engine healthy and more fuel-efficient.
10. Make sure your wheels are properly aligned. Regular wheel alignments increase your automobile’s fuel efficiency.
