Take Control of Rising Gas Prices
Are rising gas costs draining your wallet with every trip to the pump? By maintaining your vehicle and adopting smart driving habits, you can extend the mileage you get from each gallon.
"Motorists often overlook small, inexpensive adjustments that can significantly save money at the pump," says Rich White, executive director of the Car Care Council. "Issues like loose gas caps, underinflated tires, worn spark plugs, and dirty air filters all contribute to poor fuel economy."
Here are some practical tips from the Car Care Council to help you save on fuel:
- Secure Your Gas Cap: Approximately 17% of vehicles have damaged, loose, or missing gas caps, leading to the evaporation of 147 million gallons of gas annually.
- Proper Tire Inflation: Driving with underinflated tires can feel like driving with the parking brake engaged, reducing your gas mileage by a mile or two per gallon.
- Replace Spark Plugs: Spark plugs fire up to 3 million times every 1,000 miles. Dirty plugs cause misfiring and waste fuel.
- Change Air Filters: A clogged air filter creates a gas-rich mixture, reducing engine power. Replacing it can enhance mileage by up to 10%.
- Avoid Aggressive Driving: This can decrease gas mileage by 33% on highways and 5% in the city.
- Limit Idling: Idling offers zero efficiency. Warming up your vehicle for one to two minutes is ample.
- Follow Speed Limits: Fuel efficiency drops at speeds over 60 mph. Use cruise control to maintain a steady speed on highways.
- Reduce Weight: An extra 100 pounds can reduce fuel efficiency by 1% to 2%.
By following these tips, you can effectively manage rising gas prices and make every drop count.
