How to Improve Fuel Economy?

Have you ever owned a vehicle that reached 100,000 or even 200,000 miles? This is easily achieved with the technology of today’s cars. Now, imagine you lost even 20% of your Vehicle’s Fuel Economy during that 200,000 miles. That just cost you thousands of dollars over the life of that vehicle. So, how do I Improve My Vehicle’s Fuel Economy?

Keep your tire pressure at Factory Recommended Specifications
Make sure your Vehicle’s Alignment is correct
Replace your Vehicle’s Engine Air Filter

This example of a Dirty Air Filter shows evidence of the vehicle having mice getting into the Engine Compartment. It is also probably parked underneath a tree. If any of this debris gets sucked into the engine, it could cause major issues.

This new Air Filter is clean and allows the Engine to Breathe Efficiently. Normal replacement is approximately 15,000 miles. This will vary based on driving and storage conditions. For example, if you drive down a dirt road to get to your house, the Air Filter needs to be replaced more often.

Replace your Vehicle’s Spark Plugs
Have your Vehicle’s Fuel System cleaned

Spark Plugs have a tip on them called an Electrode. The Electrode is worn off the old Spark Plug on the left, where as the new plug on the right has a tip. An Electrode burns the fuel. As this tip wears down, the Vehicle Loses Fuel Economy. The Raw Fuel that is not burned clogs the Catalytic Converter, a costly component of your vehicle.

Gas mileage will increase with regular maintenance and Proper Tire Pressure. Good driving habits and Fuel System Cleaning Treatments will also help.
