Getting the best possible mileage from your vehicle is a common concern for drivers. At Hulett Chevrolet-Buick-GMC, we understand the importance of fuel efficiency and want to share some expert tips to help you save money at the pump. Here are three key factors that affect your vehicle’s fuel consumption:
Choose the Right Fuel Source
The type of fuel you use can significantly impact your vehicle’s performance and efficiency. Ethanol content varies between gas stations and affects how quickly fuel burns in your engine. We recommend:
• Testing fuel from different gas stations
• Tracking your mileage after each fill-up
• Identifying which station’s fuel provides the best efficiency for your vehicle
Adopt Fuel-Efficient Driving Habits
Your driving behavior plays a crucial role in fuel consumption. To optimize your vehicle’s efficiency:
• Minimize constant braking and acceleration
• Practice gradual deceleration by coasting to stops when possible
• Use cruise control on highways to maintain steady speeds
• Avoid aggressive acceleration
Maintain Your Vehicle Regularly
Perhaps the most important factor in fuel efficiency is proper vehicle maintenance. Key maintenance items include:
• Regular tire pressure checks
• Routine oil changes
• Clean air filter maintenance
• Scheduled engine tune-ups
