Driving Tips to Optimize Fuel Usage
Getting the best fuel efficiency out of your SUV depends on how you drive. Here are a few tips to optimize your fuel economy:
- Drive Smoothly: Smooth acceleration and braking can improve fuel efficiency by up to 30%.
- Maintain Proper Tire Pressure: Tires that are not properly inflated can decrease fuel economy. Be sure to keep your tires at the recommended pressure.
- Limit Extra Weight: Excess weight, especially on the roof, can reduce gas mileage. Remove unnecessary items from your car and avoid carrying heavy loads unless necessary.
- Regular Maintenance: Regular maintenance like oil changes, spark plug replacements, and air filter cleaning can boost fuel efficiency.
