As gas prices soar, more and more Camp Lejeune drivers are looking for how to improve gas mileage. If this is what you are looking for, we at Marine Chevrolet have six ways to improve gas mileage that you can implement as soon as possible. Check them out below, and then learn more with our Ford research page or our car buying tips.
Perhaps one of the most effective ways to improve your gas mileage is to keep up with routine maintenance due to the fact that your gas mileage can be affected by worn-out spark plugs, improper tire inflation, and other factors. Consult the owner’s manual to see when you would need to schedule service in the Richlands area.
Did you know that idling actually uses more fuel than restarting your car? We recommend turning off your vehicle to conserve fuel. Many vehicles have Auto Start-Stop technology which turns your engine when you are stopping, and turns the vehicle on when you are driving.
Remove any unnecessary bulky items from your vehicle, which makes your vehicle work harder. You might need to remove bike racks or roof boxes as they create extra wind resistance.
Driving at excessive speeds will decrease your fuel economy. Always follow the speed limit and use cruise control whenever you can. You should also avoid rapidly accelerating or braking, as this burns gas quickly.
As we mentioned, idling is harmful to your fuel economy, so plan your trips ahead of time to avoid traffic in the Sneads Ferry area.
Our last tip on improving fuel efficiency is allowing your vehicle to coast when it’s safe to do so. Let your vehicle come to a smooth coast when no one is in front of you.
