Maintenance TIPS to Save Gas and Your Money

The engine of your vehicle has to be tuned as per instructions in the owner’s manual. Doing this actually gives you at least four percent more mileage, though this also depends on the condition of your car and how well it has been repaired.

By fixing your oxygen sensor as a part of your maintenance, you can improve your car mileage by at least forty percent.

Maintaining your tires by keeping them aligned and inflated to proper pressure gives you at least three percent more mileage. Inflated tires are also safer and they last longer.

According to the US Department of Energy (DOE) and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) using grades of motor oil recommended by the manufacture improves gas mileage to a great extent. If you use a 10W-30 motor oil for an engine designed for 5W-20, you mileage will be lowered by at least one to two percent.

Similarly, using a 5W-30 in an engine designed for a 5W-20 will also lower your mileage by 1-1.5 percent.

Motor oil which has the “Energy Conserving” symbol of the American Petroleum Institute contains some additives which reduce friction thereby giving more mileage.

One very important aspect is to check your air filters regularly. A clogged air filter can reduce your mileage to a great extent almost upto ten percent. Air filters protects the inside of the engine from getting damaged by the impurities. Therefore, apart from saving fuel, replacing air filters regularly also protects your engine.

Choose the Octane level for your car according to what is specified in the owner’s manual. Normally, regular octane is recommended for most of the cars. Buying a higher octane gasoline does not help in any way and it is only a waste of money.

Do not be taken in by claims that promise to boost your gas mileage with the help of gas saving devices such as the mixture enhancers, fuel line magnets, etc. Most of these claims have found to be false by the EPA.

In fact, some of these supposed gas saving devices increase exhaust emissions or sometimes even damage the engine of your car.
