Do Your Part
Improve Your Gas Mileage
May 5, 2008 | view all items
Keeping your car in peak performance will maximize fuel efficiency. According to the U.S. Department of Energy a clogged air filter can reduce your gas mileage by 10%. If your tires are not inflated properly you can burn up to 3% more gas. Even using the wrong motor oil can add another 1 - 2 % to your fuel mileage. That 15% improvement might not sound like much but at today's gas price of $4.00 that's a sixty cent savings for every gallon of gas.
Plus when you maximize your fuel efficiency you burn less gas. This cuts down on the amount of vehicle emissions that pollute our air.
So do your part by taking care of your car. You'll reduce air pollution and keep some green in your wallet the next time you fill up at the pump.
