Does it feel like you’re always at the gas station lately? There are actually Mazda service steps that you can take to help. Tumminia Mazda shares our tips to improve your fuel efficiency.
Get an Oil Change
Your engine oil is crucial for protecting your engine, as well as keeping it lubricated and working efficiently. Old engine oil gets dirty and contaminated, which can strain your engine. This forces your vehicle to consume more fuel. Make sure that you always utilize the appropriate oil grade during an oil change and replace the oil filter. A dirty filter can also force your vehicle to burn more fuel than necessary.
Rotate Your Tires
Your tires can also seriously impact your gas mileage. Uneven tire wear increases rolling resistance, which puts a strain on your engine. Routine tire rotations help to minimize uneven wear. We’ll also carefully inspect your tires to make sure they have adequate pressure. Underinflated tires can also increase rolling resistance and decrease fuel efficiency, so we’ll make sure that yours are at the recommended pressure.
Improve Your Driving Habits
The way you drive can also majorly affect your fuel efficiency. These driving habits can help you improve your gas mileage:
- Accelerate gradually
- Coast to a stop when possible
- Utilize cruise control on the highway
- Observe the speed limit
- Limit excessive idling
- Lighten unnecessary loads as soon as possible
