Maintaining Your Vehicle For Fuel Economy (continued)

 

3.     Keeping your air filter and fuel filter clean can also improve mileage by 5-10%.

 

4.     Properly inflated tires will improve gas mileage.  Tires underinflated by 20% use 10% more fuel.  The recommended pressure is usually on a decal on the inside of the driver’s door.  Check tire pressure when they are cold to get an accurate reading.  However, do not over inflate your tires above the recommended inflation level or they may wear out faster.  Keeping your car properly aligned will also help mileage.

 

5.     Use the recommended grade of motor oil and one with “energy conserving” on the label to improve mileage.
