Maximize Your Fuel Economy with Tips from Emich Chevrolet

Make Your Fuel Efficiency Even Better with Helpful Tips

Gasoline prices are constantly changing and making it a challenge to budget in. Therefore, having ways to maximize your fuel efficiency can help you spend less time filling up and keep more of your hard-earned money in your pocket. Emich Chevrolet in Lakewood, CO, would like to share useful tips to help you be the most efficient driver possible. In addition to driving in a fuel-efficient Chevy car/truck/SUV, there are ways you can change your driving habits and maintain your vehicle to keep your fuel economy at its best. 

Tips for Maximizing Fuel Efficiency

Drive Slower / More Consistent – According to the AAA, a vehicle’s fuel economy will generally be at its peak when you reach 50 MPH. After this speed, your vehicle will start consuming more gasoline the faster you go. On the highway, slowing down anywhere from 5-10 MPH can see a significant increase in your overall fuel economy. Additionally, the more consistently you keep your speed on the highway, the better your gas mileage will be. As such, if your vehicle is equipped with Cruise Control, activating it can be a way to maintain even acceleration while proper attention is placed on the road.

Clean Your Vehicle – The heavier your vehicle is, the more energy it will take to get moving. This results in more fuel being used up for daily operation. If you haven’t taken the time to clean your vehicle of unneeded items, you could be negatively impacting your fuel economy with extra weight. Doing a thorough clean of your Chevy’s cabin can prove to be a smart financial decision as well as creating a more pleasant interior environment.

Proper Maintenance – Keeping your vehicle well-maintained helps it stay running smoothly, increasing fuel economy as a result. Scheduling an appointment with our Service Center to replace your engine air filter or get your engine’s oil changed is a worthwhile step to achieving maximum fuel economy. We are also happy to check your tire air pressure to make sure they are properly inflated, as underinflated tires will lower your fuel economy.
