10 Smart Ways to Improve Fuel Efficiency

  1. Check Tire Pressure
    increase pressure by 2 psi higher than door sticker recommends
  2. Keep Up with Maintenance
    Regular oil changes, filters, tune-ups and brake service keep your vehicle running efficiently
  3. Get Regular Wheel Alignments
    Misalignment causes drag – your engine works harder and burns more fuel

     

  4. Avoid Aggressive Passing
    Frequent passing on two-lane highways requires hard acceleration, putting your engine under heavy load and increasing fuel consumption
  5. Use Seasonal Tires
    Winter and summer tires improve performance and reduces roll and resistance
  6. Drive Smoothly
    Rapid acceleration and hard braking significantly increases fuel consumption
  7. Limit Your Idling
    Idling wastes fuel – turn off your engine if you’re stopped more than a minute
  8. Maintain a Steady Speed
    Cruise control ensures maximum fuel efficiency
  9. Reduce Excess Weight
    Carrying unnecessary items forces your engine to use more fuel
  10. Remove Roof racks When Not in Use
    They create wind resistance and reduce fuel efficiency on highways
