Saving money is the name of the game !

So I was filling up my car today and it was not a good experience. While not all of us can go get a hybrid or bike to work, there are a few things you can do to ensure your car is getting the best gas mileage.

1. Fill up the tires. Usually about 35psi each. (check yours). Going 35 on the front and 36 on the rear will give you the best combination of gas mileage to ride ratio.
2. Check the air filter in your car. Dirty air filters can cause the car to work harder than it should.
3. Run the air conditioning at lower speeds and roll up the windows. That is the best combination for low speeds.
4. If you are running a turbo or superchager make sure they are clean and well lubricated. They can really improve the performance, but have to be working properly.
5. Check the spark plugs and oxygen sensors. They usually need to be changed at 75K - 100K miles, but really vary depending on vehicle.

Let us know other tips and we’ll add them to the list.
