10 Fuel Saving Tips: 

  • Keep your tires at proper PSI levels, ensure your tires are not worn, ad properly aligned
  • Remove excess weight from your vehicle to reduce drag
  • Slow down, moderate your driving to save on fuel 
  • Don’t let your vehicle idle for more than one minute 
  • Park in the shade, especially in the summer, to reduce gas evaporation
  • Use cruise control when possible and maintain constant speeds 
  • Avoid stowing heavy cargo on your vehicle’s roof, this increases drag 
  • Ease onto your brakes, extreme braking causes you to use more gas 
  • Don’t use premium gas unless your vehicle requires it 
  • Replace old spark plugs, old/ dirty filters, and replace your vehicle’s oxygen sensor
