This month’s blog covers 7 easy ways to maximize your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. Be sure to visit our website to view the full list, but until then, here are three of our favorites to get you started!
⛽ Ease Up on the Gas and Brake Pedals
We get it. You want to reach your destination as quickly as possible. But smoother driving is one of the easiest ways to improve your gas mileage. Avoid abrupt stops by coasting gently into a brake when you can, and ease onto the gas pedal instead of accelerating quickly. By building these simple habits, you could save anywhere from $0.40 to $1.60 per gallon, according to the U.S. Department of Energy.
⛽ Fill up your tank on Saturday or Monday
Did you know that the day you fill up your vehicle can impact your savings? A recent GasBuddy analysis found that Thursday was the most expensive day to visit a gas station in both Pennsylvania and Ohio. On the other hand, the best days to fill up are typically Saturday for Pennsylvania drivers and Monday for Ohio drivers. To find the lowest prices near you, tools like AAA and GasBuddy can help you compare local fuel prices and save at the pump.
⛽ Keep Tires Properly Inflated
Keeping your tires properly inflated is one of the easiest ways to save money on fuel. Proper inflation can increase gas mileage by about 0.6%, and sometimes up to 3%. It also helps extend the life of your tires, so you won’t need to replace them as often. If you notice uneven wear, low tread, cracks, or bulges, it may be time for a replacement to stay safe on the road. Stop in at your nearest Flynn’s for a free tread and air pressure check. You can also visit us or use our tire search tool to find the right tires at the guaranteed lowest price.
