MAINTENANCE FOR FUEL EFFICIENCY

Car maintenance is one of the most important things you can do to help reduce gasoline consumption:

• Check Tire Pressure. Check your tire pressure at least once a month, when the tires are cold. Under-inflated tires can increase fuel consumption by 3 - 5%, and are a safety risk too!
• Oil and Filter Changes. Change these regularly. Oil breaks down over time, creating an inefficient, fuel-wasting vehicle. Clogged filters also disrupt the engine's natural flow.
• Tune Up. Follow a regular schedule for tune-ups. Keeping your car healthy will not only save your money, but also reduces gasoline consumption and emissions. A poorly tuned vehicle can burn up to twice as much fuel as a well-maintained one!
