Saving Money and Miles Per Gallon

With the addition of a slew of fuel efficient vehicles to the market, many people have started to overlook the minor details that could potentially help them save at the pump. Below, is a list of easy and free tips on how you can make your vehicle more fuel efficient without spending a dime.

1. Don't overload your vehicle. To much weight can not only put extra wear and tear on your vehicles tires, but add extra pounds to your vehicle as well. The extra pounds may not effect a larger SUV or TRUCK, but in a small COUPE or SEDAN the extra weight could add upwards of a 100lbs, causing the vehicle to exert more gas then it would normally use during a drive.
2. Road rage is not a-okay. Aggressive driving can cause your vehicle to exert more gas due to excessive speeding, sudden breaking, and rapid acceleration. While road-rage is never a good idea, the wear and tear it puts on your vehicle is just another reason to slow-down while out on the road.
3. Avoid idling.  Excessive idling cause cause your vehicle to use about a half gallon of fuel per hour. While parked, simply turn of your engine, that way you're saving fuel. Plus, it only take a few second worth of fuel to restart your vehicle, instead of the half gallon of fuel during idling. 

While these are only a few tips to help you save more money at the pump, they can help you save a hefty chuck of change on fuel during your vehicles lifetime. If these DIY tips on how to save MPG isn't your style, check out the vast array of Hybrid and EV vehicles we have to offer on our website.

Here’s your Car Care Tip of the Week: Check Your Car's Oil Often.

The fact is, most of us do a lot of heavy driving during the summer when an engine is more likely to overheat. So at least check your oil before you head out on that road trip with the family. To check your oil, let your car run for a few minutes, then park it on a level surface and shut off the engine. Open the hood and locate the oil dipstick. You're looking for two things here: the level of oil and how the oil looks.
