Steps to follow to improve gas mileage

Driving efficiently improves the gas mileage to a large extent. Hence, there are a few things to keep in mind while driving. The first would be to remember to go easy on the pedal. The road is not a racetrack, and it is safer and better to drive at a steady pace without having to brake and speed up along with rapid acceleration. You can easily save gas by driving sensibly.

Each car has its own optimal speed for fuel-efficiency. It is often advised to maintain this speed as over-speeding leads to reduced fuel economy and decreased efficiency. Similarly, driving at a slow and well-balanced pace improves the gas mileage by a great extent.

Additionally, cruise control in the appropriate setting improves fuel economy by a large margin. You can also turn off your car while idling as an idling vehicle burns around one gallon of gas per hour. Therefore, if the vehicle is idling for more than ten seconds, it is often advised to turn off the engine.

Proper tire alignment also helps save fuel as a misaligned tire would drag instead of freely rolling. Check your tire alignment and ensure that the tires are properly balanced and rotated to provide better tire performance and improved fuel economy.

At Steele Honda, you can schedule a service to ensure that your car functions properly and have the cruise control and tire alignment checked. Check out our services and service specials for discounts on the work you get done. Reach out to us for further assistance.
