Tips for Improving Your Acura's Gas Mileage
Gas prices tend to fluctuate. When they spike, you'll want a car with high fuel efficiency to keep your fuel costs down. Every vehicle’s fuel efficiency can increase or decrease depending on your driving habits. Help get the most fuel efficiency by following these helpful driving tips below!
1. Accelerate and Brake Gently
You will use more gas than necessary when applying the accelerator or brake suddenly. However, you will see significantly better fuel efficiency and help reduce the risk of an accident by slowly accelerating and braking.
2. Get Regular Maintenance
Maintain your vehicle as recommended by the manufacturer. You can do this by changing your oil regularly, topping up fluids, replacing filters, checking tire pressure, and doing other maintenance tasks. Keeping your vehicle maintained can significantly improve performance and fuel economy. Visit our Service Centre if your car needs any of these services.
3. Get Rid of Unnecessary Weight
Carrying a lot of weight in, behind, or on top of your car could impact fuel efficiency. Constantly driving with heavy items in your vehicle can weigh it down, requiring more energy to power it efficiently, which wastes fuel. Unless necessary, avoid transporting heavy items for extended periods.
4. Drive Slower
Cars use more energy going 100 km/h than they do going 80 km/h. Despite reaching your destination earlier, your vehicle will use much more gas. You will need to fill up less often if you take your time and go the speed limit during your trip.
