Check your tire pressure regularly and ensure the tires are inflated to the pressure ratings recommended by the manufacturer. Properly inflated tires reduce rolling resistance, which helps your vehicle use less fuel.

Maintain a Steady Speed

Aggressive acceleration, hard braking, and excessive speeds can affect fuel efficiency. Practicing smoother driving habits, like maintaining a steady speed when traffic allows, can decrease extra fuel consumption.

Get Regular Oil Changes

Routine oil changes keep your engine properly lubricated, preventing friction between moving parts and excess heat. This enables the engine to operate more efficiently, which can improve MPG.
