Simple Ways to Cut Motor Vehicle Costs
With rising vehicle ownership expenses, finding ways to make your fuel budget go further is more important than ever. According to a new Shell survey, 78% of drivers believe they can improve fuel economy by following certain driving and maintenance tips. Yet, nearly 40% aren't utilizing these strategies. Here are some practical tips from Shell to help you save money on fuel:
- Drive Smoothly: Avoid rapid acceleration or braking. These actions can reduce your fuel efficiency by 5% in city driving and up to 33% on highways.
- Change Your Air Filter: A clean air filter can boost your fuel efficiency by up to 10% while protecting your engine from impurities.
- Keep Your Engine Tuned: Address any issues immediately. Fixing a failed emissions test or tuning your car can improve mileage by an average of 4%.
- Check Tire Pressure: Properly inflated tires can enhance fuel efficiency by about 3.3%. Avoid over- or under-inflated tires.
- Reduce Vehicle Drag: Clear out unnecessary items from your trunk and back seat to improve fuel efficiency.
- Use Cruise Control: Maintaining a steady speed on highways can help save fuel.
- Avoid Idling: Idling gets you 0 miles per gallon, so turn off your engine when parked.
- Limit High Speeds: Driving over 60 mph can decrease fuel efficiency.
- Plan Your Trips: Combine errands into one trip to minimize cold starts and keep your engine running efficiently.
- Use a Rebate Credit Card: Consider the Shell Platinum MasterCard from Citi Cards, which offers a 5% rebate on Shell gas purchases and 1% on other purchases. At the average price of $2.91 per gallon, this translates to 14 cents back per gallon.
Mark Ferner, a Shell Engineer and ASE-Certified Technician, says, "Incorporating Shell FuelStretch principles into your daily routine is an easy way to maximize every fuel purchase."
By following these straightforward tips, you can effectively manage your vehicle costs and make every dollar count.
