Since gas prices keep going up and up, it's important we get the most out of each tank of gas. Keeping your car in tip-top shape can greatly improve your gas mileage. Check out these 3 tips for getting the most out of your gas:
- Make sure your tires are properly inflated. If tires are not filled, it can greatly affect your car's gas mileage over the course of a year.
- Use the correct oil for your car. Putting in oil that is a different grade for your car can lower your car's gas mileage, even if you're putting in a higher grade of oil. Your car needs the recommended oil to perform efficiently.
- Regularly replace your air filters. A clogged air filter can affect your acceleration and fuel efficiencies for older cars. On more modern cars it won't affect the fuel economy, but it still will affect acceleration, so make sure you keep your air filters in good condition. For more information visit the website.
