GAS PRICES RISING, AGAIN?

Simple ways to maximize fuel economy.

Oil Changes

Regularly changing your oil will add many miles to your engine.  Changing your engine oil according to your car manufacture's recommendation in your owner's manual will help lubricate the engine, minimize friction and carry away excessive heat, all of which will lead to greater fuel efficiency.  Stop by any Super-Lube for an oil change today.

Use the Right grade

Make sure that you are using the right grade of motor oil for your vehicle.  This is usually printed on the oil cap or in your owner's manual.

Drive Sensibly

Aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) wastes gas.  It can lower your gas mileage up to 33% at highway speeds and up to 5% around town.

Observe the Speed Limit

While every vehicle reaches its optimal fuel economy at a different speed, gas mileage usually decreases 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 $0.20 per gallon of gas.

Air Filter

Filters are a crucial part of regular vehicle maintenance and act as the 'vehicle's lung'.  Dirty air filters make it harder for the engine to breathe.  If the flow is restricted by a clogged air filter, the fuel economy and vehicle performance will suffer.  Replacing a clogged air filter can increase your mileage by up to 10%.  Checking your air filter is just one of the steps Super-Lube performs when changing your oil.

Tires

Under-inflated tires affect your mileage by increasing resistance and making it more difficult for the engine to move the car along the road.  For every 1 PSI you are under the optimal rate, you lose 0.4% of your miles per gallon.  The average person can improve mileage by approximately 3.3% by inflating their tires to the proper psi for their vehicle.

Remove Excess Weight

Avoid keeping unneeded items in your vehicle, especially heavy ones.  An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce your fuel economy by up to 2%.  The reduction is based on the percentage of extra weight relative to the vehicle's weight and affects smaller vehicles more than larger ones.

Avoind Excess Idling

When your vehicle is idling, you are getting 0 miles to the gallon.

Use Cruise Control

By using cruise control on the highway you will be maintaining a constant speed and saving gas.

Secure Gas Cap

Make sure your gas cap is on and not loose or damaged.  147 million gallons of gas vaporizes every year due to these conditions.
