Here at Tallahassee Ford, we know that owning a Ford makes driving fun. To reduce your costs when getting gas, it’s important to know how to get the best fuel efficiency out of your vehicle so you can enjoy your ride without breaking the bank. Here are some tips to try out during your daily commute to get the most out of your Ford model’s gas mileage.
Avoid heavy traffic to improve fuel efficiency. Try running errands during less busy times or combining trips to minimize travel and save gas.
Extra items in your vehicle add weight, increasing fuel consumption. Clear out unnecessary items, and remove accessories like cargo boxes when not in use.
Speeding decreases fuel efficiency. Use cruise control when safe, and avoid rapid acceleration and braking to conserve fuel.
Fuel is denser in cool temperatures, so pumping gas in the early morning or late night can give you slightly better mileage.
Turn off your car instead of idling, as it conserves fuel. Avoid using AC while idling to further save gas.
Regular maintenance ensures fuel efficiency. Schedule service appointments at Tallahassee Ford to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
