How Do You Efficiently Improve Gas Mileage?
Changing your driving habits today could save you money in the future. Start saving now by increasing your car’s gas mileage by following the steps below. Use the right gas and motor oil for your vehicle. Check the owner’s manual for the manufacturer’s recommended gas grade and motor oil type. Keep your tires properly inflated.

Merge your errands into one fuel efficient trip. Remove excess weight. Extra weight strains the engine, which results in lower gas mileage. Maintain and Tune-Up.
