Since the price of gas isn't expected to decrease anytime soon, it’s
important to get the most out of your tank. By using these simple
suggestions, you can improve your car's fuel efficiency. Getting
regular auto maintenance is one of the best ways to increase mileage.
When you want to boost your vehicle’s fuel efficiency in Hooksett,
NH, or the surrounding towns, bring it to Adams
Auto Care
to do the job.
Be an Easy-going Driver
Your fuel efficiency will suffer if you brake frequently and
accelerate quickly. This style of driving strains the engine harder
and speeds up fuel consumption. To get the most out of your gas,
drive your vehicle on the freeway at no more than 55 mph. You can
even save 7 to 14 percent of your tank by switching to cruise
control.
Maintain Proper Tire Pressure
Underinflated tires cause a car's engine to work harder, which
reduces gas mileage. With properly inflated tires, gas mileage can
rise by between 0.6 and 3 percent. Make that your tires are inflated
to the recommended PSI according to your vehicle’s owner’s
manual.
Avoid Idling
If you have to keep the engine running for longer than three minutes,
turn it off to save fuel. Today's cars don't need to warm up before
you can accelerate, therefore you can do it right away. Even better,
some modern vehicles have a stop-start technology that automatically
shuts off the engine when the car is stationary and restarts it when
it accelerates. With this option, you can reduce your vehicle's fuel
consumption by up to 10 percent while driving in congested areas.
