Protecting Your Ride

Summer season is coming and that means gas price inflation. There are ways to get better fuel economy though, here are a few tips:

1. Be sure that your engine is well maintained. If your vehicle fails an emissions test, do not put off the repairs. Fixing these types of problems with your engine can improve fuel economy by 4%.
2. Make sure you are aware of the tire pressure you are supposed to sustain. This information can be found on the inside of your driver’s side door jam. When your tires are at the correct pressure you can improve your fuel economy by around 3%
3. Using the recommended motor oil grade is suggested because this can affect the cars performance. By using the correct oil you can improve your fuel economy by 1-2%

If you keep up with scheduled maintenance and take care of your vehicle – it would be an easy way to save a few dollars this summer.
