WESTLAND, Mich.- As gas prices seem to steadily increase as the days go by, it can be a painful experience to fill up your vehicle these days! How can you get more out of that next tank of gas? Your Southeast Michigan Ford Dealer has gathered up some Tips For How To Get Better Fuel Economy to help you save at the pump!Tips For How To Get Better Fuel Economy:
1. BREATHE. When you're stuck in rush-hour traffic or running late you may find yourself driving more aggressively than usual. Take a deep breath and relax because accelerating or braking rapidly can lower fuel efficiency by up to 33%! Watching your speed helps too since gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph!
2. CLEAN. Clear your vehicle of unnecessary items that you don't need to store in your backseat or trunk to increase mpg by up to 2%!
3. STOP. If you're parked waiting for someone turn off your engine. Idling can burn a quarter to a half gallon of fuel per hour depending on your engine size!
4. TIRES. Regularly check that your tires are in good shape and properly inflated. Not only will they last longer but you can increase fuel efficiency by up to 3.3%! Save even more with our Tire Discounts!
5. CRUISE. Utilize your cruise control which helps keep you at a constant speed and utilize less gas.
