The Car Care Council offers
these fuel-saving tips:
Dirty air filters -- An air filter that is clogged with dirt, dust and
bugs chokes off the air and creates a "rich" mixture -- too much gas
being burned for the amount of air, which wastes gas and causes the
engine to lose power. Replacing a clogged air filter can improve gas
mileage by as much as 10 percent, saving about 20 cents a gallon.Vehicle
gas caps -- About 17 percent of the vehicles on the roads have gas caps
that are either damaged, loose or are missing altogether, causing 147
million gallons of gas to vaporize every year.
Under inflated tires -- When tires aren't inflated properly it's like
driving with the parking brake on and can cost a mile or two per gallon.
Worn spark plugs -- A vehicle can have either four, six, or eight spark
plugs, which fire as many as 3 million times every 1,000 miles,
resulting in a lot of heat and electrical and chemical erosion. A dirty
spark plug causes misfiring, which wastes fuel. Spark plugs need to be
replaced as recommended by the manufacturer. See our FAQ
"What is a Tune Up?" for more information on this subject.
Fuel-saving driving tips include:
Don't be an aggressive driver -- Aggressive driving can lower gas
mileage by as much as 33 percent on the highway and 5 percent on city
streets, which results in 10 to 66 cents per gallon.
