Drive Time
Drive time. Shorter trips in the winter are not ideal as it takes a while to warm up your car. You are wasting more gas warming your car up than you are to get from point A to point B. If you need to run some errands, do multiple together, that way you’re getting the best out of your fuel and not wasting more fuel warming your car up.
Check Your Tires In Winter
Checking your tires. Make sure your tire pressure is always filled. If you want a great fuel economy, you’re going to want to make sure that your tire pressure is at the correct amount at all times. This not only will help with your fuel saving, but also ensure that you have great traction for the winter roads ahead of you.
Don’t Idle
When you idle your car, you definitely are not doing your fuel any favors. The best way to warm up your engine is to start driving. While you sit idle, your car is slowly but surely draining your fuel.
If you really want the best for your fuel economy, follow these tips. There are many other ways that you can also help increase your fuel. You can always park in the garage, so you don’t have to waste time warming up your car as well as wearing warmer winter gear so that you are not freezing once you sit down and again don’t have to waste fuel warming your car up. Keep up with your oil as well and make sure that it is not low.
Following all these tips will help you with your winter fuel-saving needs. Don’t hesitate to call your O’Fallon, IL Hotz Automotive for any help you may need this winter.
