How Can I Get Better Gas Mileage?
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.
Schedule your travel time efficiently
Avoid heavy traffic to improve fuel efficiency. Try running errands during less busy times or combining trips to minimize travel and save gas.
Reduce weight
Extra items in your vehicle add weight, increasing fuel consumption. Clear out unnecessary items, and remove accessories like cargo boxes when not in use.
Avoid speeding
Speeding decreases fuel efficiency. Use cruise control when safe, and avoid rapid acceleration and braking to conserve fuel.
Pump gas when the temperature is coolest
Fuel is denser in cool temperatures, so pumping gas in the early morning or late night can give you slightly better mileage.
Don't let your vehicle idle for too long
Turn off your car instead of idling, as it conserves fuel. Avoid using AC while idling to further save gas.
Keep up with maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures fuel efficiency. Schedule service appointments at Tallahassee Ford to keep your vehicle running smoothly.
