2. Change the air filter: A dirty air filter can restrict airflow to the engine, which can also reduce fuel economy. A new air filter can improve fuel economy by up to 5%.
3. Check the tire pressure: Underinflated tires can increase rolling resistance and reduce fuel economy. Make sure the tires are inflated to the proper pressure, which can be found on the sidewall of the tire.
4. Drive more slowly: The faster you drive, the more fuel your vehicle uses. Try to keep your speed below 65 mph on the highway.
5. Use cruise control: Cruise control can help you maintain a steady speed, which can improve fuel economy.
6. Avoid idling: Idling your vehicle wastes gas. If you're going to be stopped for more than a minute or two, turn off the engine.
7. Don't carry unnecessary weight: The more weight your vehicle carries, the more fuel it will use. Try to keep the weight of your cargo to a minimum.
8. Use synthetic oil: Synthetic oil can improve fuel economy by up to 5%.
9. Install a cold air intake system: A cold air intake system can help bring in cooler air to the engine, which can improve combustion and fuel economy.
10. Install an overdrive: An overdrive transmission can help reduce the engine speed at highway speeds, which can improve fuel economy.
