Fuel Efficiency 101
You can get the best mileage possible from your vehicle by keeping it in top shape and using some easy fuel-saving ideas.
- Tire Pressure: Under inflation or over inflation can lead to decreased fuel mileage.
- Air Filters: Dirty air filters cause your engine to run at less than peak efficiency which increases your fuel consumption.
- Oil: Using the correct oil weight is important. Higher viscosity oils have greater resistance to the moving parts of the engine and therefore use more gas.
