When it comes to gas mileage, it’s easy to think you can’t make a lot of changes in your fuel spending. But it’s actually not difficult to help your car get more miles to the gallon. Not only does this keep your vehicle operation and maintenance costs under control, but it also reduces the environmental impact of your driving. Here’s what you need to know.
Make sure your tires align with your driving style and seasonal needs. The harder your tires have to work to stay in contact with the road, the more fuel your car needs. Keep tires properly inflated and get them rotated when you bring your vehicle in for oil changes.
When you accelerate quickly from a full stop, your car draws a lot of fuel to gain speed. Instead, increase your speed evenly and with a high degree of control to burn less gas.
A heavier car requires more energy to propel it forward, meaning you’ll burn through a tank of gas more quickly. Keep your trunk cleaned out of any unnecessary items. While any individual item may not seem heavy, you could be riding around with an extra 100 pounds total and not realize it.
