Save Fuel Costs And Mileage With These Great Ideas From Cardinale Mazda

Cardinale Mazda, located in the Salinas Auto Mall, has some great ideas to increase your vehicle’s gas mileage.  Try any of these suggestions and you might be surprised to discover how you can save money at the gas pump!

The best way to save at the pump is to make sure you’re driving a later model.  That’s because the fuel economy on newer cars is always improved over older models.  Now might be a good time to consider trading in an older model and invest in a new vehicle.  The best place to make a trade-in deal?  Right here at Cardinale Mazda!

Make sure you follow a regular auto maintenance plan.  Keeping a schedule of routine oil filter changes, tire rotations and other services will make sure car run more efficiently.  This will help improve fuel economy.

Drive light – remove any excess baggage that makes your car heavier and work harder.  Check your trunk and remove anything you don’t need.  An overhead luggage rack will also burn extra fuel, so take it off unless you are going on a road trip.

This may surprise you, but driving aggressively with a heavy foot or jamming on the brakes too hard can cost you in terms of fuel economy.  Instead, drive less aggressively and enjoy the extra mileage!

During cold weather, be aware that your car tends to work harder and therefore you will need to do more to keep fuel costs down.  One thing you can do is to only warm up your vehicle for thirty seconds.  Idling a car for very long will burn fuel.  Drive away slowly after warming up your car for thirty seconds to make it easier on your vehicle’s engine.
