Gas Mileage Tips
How to Get Better Gas Mileage
- Keep Tires Properly Inflated & Aligned
Maintaining wheel alignment and accurate tire pressure decreases drag and can improve fuel economy. 10% improvement on mpg.
- Minimize A/C Use
Once the car is cool, use the air conditioning setting to re-circulate the cabin air. Minimize usage of the A/C, and defrost options as they will cause the air compressor to run continuously.
- Avoid Aggressive Driving
Quick acceleration and decelerations reduce fuel economy.
- Drive at a Smooth Constant Speed
Smoother changes to the accelerator pedal decreases the chance of requesting more power than needed, which wastes fuel economy.
- Slow Down
Traveling at 60mph instead of 70mph will increase fuel economy.
- Avoid Excessive Idling
Instead of running the car, turn it off.
