6 Tips to Increase Gas Mileage




With spring and summer coming up why spend more money on gas than you have to? Instead you can you put that money saved towards summer activities! Here are 6 simple tips to help increase your gas mileage:

  • Tune-Up: Keep your car properly tuned to improve gas mileage by an average of 4 percent.
  • Tire Pressure: Keep tires properly inflated and improve gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent.
  • Motor Oil: Improve gas mileage by 1 to 2 percent by using the grade of motor oil recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Air Filters: Replacing clogged air filters on older vehicles can improve fuel economy and will improve performance and acceleration on all vehicles.
