Gas Saving Tips

Replace air filters. When the engine air filter clogs with dirt, dust and bugs, it causes your engine to work harder and your car becomes less fuel-efficient. Replacing a clogged air filter could improve your gas mileage by as much as 10 percent. It's a good idea to have your engine air filter checked at each oil change.

Don't top off. Any additional gas is just going to slop around or seep out. Stop pumping at the first indication that your tank is full when the automatic nozzle clicks off.

Tighten up that gas cap. Gas will evaporate from your car's gas tank if it has an escape. Loose, missing or damaged gas caps cause millions gallons of gas to evaporate each year.

Maintenance. Be serious about auto care. Always follow the manufacturer-recommended maintenance. The car's designed to run a certain way. If you neglect it, it won't be as efficient.

Nitrogen. Nitrogen replaces normal air in the tires and will save up to 10% in fuel costs in a year! This reduces corrosion inside wheel rims, tread wear, blowouts/avoidable collisions and it maintains consistent pressure levels.

Check Tire Pressure. Driving with just one tire under-inflated by 2lbs results in consuming approximately 2 weeks more of fuel per year and reduces your tire’s life by 6-9 months. 70% of vehicles have at least one tire with an inflation problem.
