Read on for some of the most effective ways of increasing fuel mileage and start saving money today!
Check the Tires for Proper Inflation
If your car tires are properly inflated, they will greatly reduce fuel consumption by 3%. It is therefore, recommended that you check tire pressure every month and before going out on a long journey. It will also help you in avoiding uneven wear and tear on the tread.
Generally speaking, your car tires lose 1 PSI in a month. The air pressure also goes down if the tires are constantly cold. For instance, unused spare tires and those present in colder environments tend to lose air pressure quickly.
Tuning Up the Engine
In order to achieve maximum power and greatly enhance the fuel efficiency of your machine, you should frequently opt for tune-ups of your engine. Moreover, check the air filter of your car. If it is dirty, this will also cause your engine to slow down and increase the amount of fuel consumption.
Make it a habit to replace your fuel filter according to your car manufacturer's guidelines. You should also make it a point to lighten the load on your ride when you are going out, especially for longer journeys.
Focus on Fuel Quality
You should focus on buying quality fuel as opposed to discounted brands. This is necessary to maintain the optimum health of the engine. The higher percentage of ethanol in low-cost varieties leaves undesirable residues on your car's engine, thereby reducing its efficiency.
Using synthetic oil can help you save up to 5% gas on average. If you are unable to use synthetic oils, you may opt for the lightest variety of oil available to make sure that your engine stays in the best condition.
Using the AC Wisely
If you keep using your AC in an inconsistent manner, it will cause your engine to work extra hard to produce power. Try to cut back on the need to use your AC in stop-and-go situations. On the other hand, using your AC while on the highway will result in a better mileage.
Focus on your RPM to get a precise idea of how hard your engine is working. This is measured by the tachometer on the left-hand side of your speedometer.
With these guidelines, you will be able to derive smooth performance and better mileage from your car.
