Automotive Maintenance
With gas prices soaring this should be atop of everyone's to-do list. Generic automotive maintenance can dramatically improve our vehicle's efficiency and result in better gas mileage.
Replace a clogged air filter
*An unclogged air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10%. This can have an equivalent savings of up to $.32/gallon.
Keep tires properly inflated
*Properly inflated tires can improve gas mileage by around 3.3%. This can have an equivalent savings of up to $.10/gallon.
The savings from routine maintenance is staggering. If you use 10 gallons of gas a week, the savings would add up to $218 a year.
