Having the vehicle maintained is one of the ways to improve fuel efficiency. It is also one that a lot of people simply forget to do. You should have a regular check up on the fuel system, fluid levels, air filters, rubber lines, and hoses that may crack and leak. The smallest things can cause your vehicle to get bad fuel efficiency. Keep up on your scheduled maintenance because this really is the best way to keep your vehicle performing right.

Tire pressure is something that most people do not even think of when they are looking to improve fuel efficiency of their vehicles. Tire pressure is worth about a ten to fifteen percent drop in fuel mileage when your tires get low on air. When your tires are low on air, your engine has to work harder to push your car down the road. You can look in the vehicle owner’s manual and it will list the correct air pressure that the tires should have. You can also bring your vehicle in and we can recommend what the correct air pressure should be for the tires.
