If you want to save money on fuel and get the gas mileage your vehicle is supposed to receive there are a few simple guidelines to follow. Always have your vehicle serviced on a regular basis, by a mechanic that you trust. Avoid driving erratically and adding excessive weight to your vehicle; as all of these contributing factors can reduce the fuel efficiency of your car.
The tires require proper inflation, regular rotation, and replacement when necessary. The filters need to be replaced when they are excessively dirty, and it is important to have your car tuned and the spark plugs changed when needed. Excessive idling, weight, and speed should all be considered when trying to save on fuel. Using cruise control can help control speed, and taking out any unnecessary items from the trunk or cargo area on the roof of the car will contribute to an improved fuel economy.
