6 Ways To Improve Gas Mileage Today!

1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires take considerably more energy to move your car. Check your tire pressure every time you fill up - it doesn’t cost anything extra.

2. Make sure your tires are properly aligned. Improperly aligned tires also create drag, especially when going up hill and on turns, meaning your engine is burning more gas.

3. Check your brakes. You should have your brakes aligned and checked. Poorly aligned brakes mean you have to brake harder, and you lose or bleed off kinetic energy, resulting in lower gas mileage.

4. Tune your engine. A poorly tuned engine uses more gas, plain and simple. Have your engine’s timing checked, and replace worn or dirty spark plugs.

5. Don’t idle more than necessary. Idling gives you exactly zero miles per gallon. Though it takes more gas when your engine turns over, if you are going to be idling for 30 seconds or more, it pays to turn off your engine.

6. Change your driving habits. Over-accelerating, stop and go traffic, congestion, these all burn unnecessary gas. Do your effands at night when there is less traffic so you can get to and from your destination in less traffic.
