2. Gas cap
If you've ever been driving down the highway and seen another vehicle with their gas
cap hanging out, the driver is likely losing fuel at the same time.According to
AutoZoneâs website, a missing fuel cap allows gas to evaporate. A missing gas cap is
also a common reason for a check engine light to activate.To improve your mileage,
be sure to screw on your gas cap until you hear a few clicks.
Maintenance
There are several maintenance practices that, if forgotten, can cause your car to run
less efficiently. Unfortunately, many drivers forget to keep up with routine
maintenance, including oil changes and tire rotations.While some may think they are
saving money by delaying vehicle maintenance, there could be bigger costs later on
and reduced fuel efficiency - which means filling up more often.To keep your car
running at its best, be sure to keep up with maintenance when your vehicle needs it.
Engine tune-up
An engine that is properly tuned will likely run better for longer.This means your gas
can go further and you can save money over the miles.According to an MSNAutos
article, an engine that is well-maintained can improve gas efficiency by an average of
4 percent. Be sure to follow what your owner's manual recommends when it comes to
oil and air filters.
