Take Control of Gas Prices
Boost Your Fuel Efficiency Today
Do you feel like your money disappears every time you visit the gas station? You can maximize every gallon by maintaining your vehicle and adopting fuel-efficient driving habits.
According to Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council, "Simple, low-cost actions can significantly save you money at the pump." Key factors like loose or missing gas caps, underinflated tires, worn spark plugs, and dirty air filters can all reduce fuel efficiency.
Gas-Saving Tips from the Car Care Council
- Secure Your Gas Cap: Approximately 17% of vehicles have damaged, loose, or missing gas caps, causing 147 million gallons of gas to evaporate annually.
- Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: Driving with underinflated tires is akin to driving with the parking brake on, reducing fuel efficiency by one to two mpg.
- Replace Spark Plugs: Over 1,000 miles, spark plugs may fire up to 3 million times. Dirty plugs cause misfiring, wasting fuel. Regular replacements are essential.
- Change Air Filters: A clogged air filter creates a fuel-rich mixture, reducing engine power. Replacing it can improve gas mileage by up to 10%.
- Drive Smoothly: Aggressive driving can lower highway gas mileage by 33% and city mileage by 5%.
- Minimize Idling: An idling engine gets zero mpg. Warming up your vehicle for just one to two minutes is enough.
- Mind Your Speed: Gas mileage drops significantly above 60 mph. Use cruise control for consistent highway speeds.
- Lighten Your Load: Carrying an extra 100 pounds can decrease fuel efficiency by 1% to 2%.
By following these tips, you can take control of rising gas prices and enjoy more miles for your money.
