Saving money is an essential part of life but hard to do. Advantage Ford Lincoln wants to help you improve your gas mileage to help save a few dollars. Despite what your usual commute is or how often you drive your vehicle, following the five items below can help improve your gas mileage more than you think.
Speed: We understand most drivers tend to drive faster than the recommended speed but to get better gas mileage, it's better to put a stop to the acceleration. Accelerating our vehicles raises your fuel consumption more than we think. The amount varies by the vehicle.
Weight: Limit the number of items in or on your vehicle. There is no need to carry unnecessary weight. The more weight, the more fuel is used due to your car working extra to carry the additional heaviness.
Tires: Make sure your tires are inflated to the recommended air pressure. Having your tires low makes your vehicle work harder and overinflated will give you a bumpy ride. Once a week, check where your tires stand with a tire gauge. This will also allow your tires to last longer!
Gas cap: This is something that many of us don't think about but make sure your gas cap is secure. Failing to do so can negatively impact your fuel consumption.
There are multiple things you can do to improve your gas mileage, starting with these few items will get you on the right track for long-term improvement.
