Use the recommended motor oil grade.

Replacing a clogged air filter with a new Mopar air filter can improve gas mileage by as much as 10%.

Keep the engine tuned.

Fixing a vehicle that is noticeably out of tune can improve gas mileage by an average of 4%. Fixing a

serious maintenance problem, such as a faulty oxygen sensor, can improve mileage by as much as 40%.

Keep tires properly inflated.

Underinflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4% for every 1 psi (pounds per square inch)

drop in pressure of all four tires.

If your vehicle isn’t properly tuned up and maintained, it could affect your gas mileage.

That’s why it’s so important to rely on the Specialists at our dealership. We know your

vehicle better than anyone.

Avoid aggressive driving.

Speeding, rapid acceleration and rapid braking can lower your gas mileage by 33% at highway speeds

and by 5% around town.

Observe the speed limit.

Though every vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different range of speeds, gas mileage usually

decreases rapidly at speeds above 60 mph. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that each 5 mph you drive over

60 mph is like paying an additional 20¢ per gallon for gas.

Reduce excess vehicle weight.

Every extra 100 pounds of stuff in your vehicle can reduce gas mileage by up to 2%. If you drive a smaller vehicle,

extra weight could affect your mileage even more.

Avoid excessive idling.

When you idle, you get 0 miles per gallon. And ignore the misperception: It doesn’t take more gas to restart the

engine than you would save from turning off the engine.

Stick with the Specialists for all your maintenance needs, and we’ll help keep your vehicle running as fuel effi ciently as possible.
