To get the best fuel efficiency it is essential to keep your car maintained. These simple fuel efficiency tips can improve your gas mileage and prevent future problems.
1. Keep Your Engine Properly Tuned
Fixing a car that is noticeably out of tune can improve its gas mileage by an average of 4%. Fixing a serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve your mileage by as much as 40%!
