Change the Oil



A study in 2013 showed that the average age of cars on the roads was 11.4 years. Keeping vehicles in tip-top shape requires maintenance, maintenance, and more maintenance.

Kelley Blue Book states that regularly checking and changing the oil is the single most important thing that will help your engine last. Neglecting oil checks and changes will cause an engine to rapidly deteriorate. It’s a good idea to keep track of what date and at what mileage you had your last oil change, so you can determine when your car is due again.

Tips to Save Money on Fuel

1. We all know that quick starts consume a lot of fuel. But, when you accelerate at a snail’s pace, the car stays in a low gear, which also has poor fuel economy. A good rule of thumb is to spend 15 seconds getting to 50 mph.

2. Keeping your car clean has more than an aesthetic benefit. Removing 100 pounds of junk from your car’s trunk could increase fuel efficiency by up to 2 percent!

3. Maintenance is equally important. Adjusting the pressure of your tires once a month can increase a car’s fuel efficiency by up to 3 percent. And, don’t forget to check the gas cap! Damaged, loose or missing gas caps can let the gas vaporize into the air.

4. Don’t only look at the car immediately in front of you; try looking farther down the road. This will help you anticipate potential danger situations and allow you to reduce your speed by coasting to a stop rather than slamming on your brakes. Doing so causes a loss of momentum that increases the amount of fuel you burn at a given time. Except for in an emergency situation, this hard stop-and-go action should be avoided.
