10 Smart Ways to Improve Fuel Efficiency
- Check Tire Pressure
increase pressure by 2 psi higher than door sticker recommends - Keep Up with Maintenance
Regular oil changes, filters, tune-ups and brake service keep your vehicle running efficiently - Get Regular Wheel Alignments
Misalignment causes drag – your engine works harder and burns more fuel - Avoid Aggressive Passing
Frequent passing on two-lane highways requires hard acceleration, putting your engine under heavy load and increasing fuel consumption - Use Seasonal Tires
Winter and summer tires improve performance and reduces roll and resistance - Drive Smoothly
Rapid acceleration and hard braking significantly increases fuel consumption - Limit Your Idling
Idling wastes fuel – turn off your engine if you’re stopped more than a minute - Maintain a Steady Speed
Cruise control ensures maximum fuel efficiency - Reduce Excess Weight
Carrying unnecessary items forces your engine to use more fuel - Remove Roof racks When Not in Use
They create wind resistance and reduce fuel efficiency on highways
