Car Maintenance Tips to Help Save Gas

Here are a few driving habits that can help you save gas and keep your car in top condition.

Perform Regular Maintenance – No matter how few miles you drive, it’s important to change your car’s motor oil regularly. If you’re planning to sell your car, regular oil changes is also a great indication of good upkeep, especially if you changed your oil every 3,000-8,000 miles, in line with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Tune your engine regularly - A regularly (and properly) tuned engine consumes less gas.

Maintain an ideal tire pressure –Check your automaker’s recommendations and make sure your tires are inflated to the maximum PSI, measured when cold. Apart from being dangerous, under-inflated tires can decrease mileage.

Remove extra weight - Extra weight in your car creates a drag on the engine and consumes extra gas. Check your trunk and back seat for any unnecessary items that you don’t need to keep in your car.

Check your filters regularly – Clean filters help to keep cars running more fuel efficiently so be sure to check your filters regularly.

Use the right motor oil – Using the wrong motor oil can cause your engine to work harder and waste gas.
Check your vehicle’s manual to see what type of oil your car requires.
