Fire up Fuel Economy
As the price of gasoline continues to increase, fuel economy has never been more important. In order to maximize the fuel efficiency of passenger cars and/or light trucks, keeping the fuel system clean is one thing you can do to increase fuel economy. Let's take a look at several things you can do right in your garage to accomplish this goal.
Dirty fuel injectors can be a source of driveability problems and poor fuel economy. Mopar Fuel Injector Cleaner can be used to clean these dirty injectors. Pour the cleaner into the gas tank. Then the fuel injectors are cleaned while you drive.
Another task to perform to clean your fuel system is checking the air filter. The air filter, has a considerable build up of dirt. This filter should be replaced. An engine needs to breathe easily in order to perform at maximum efficiency and this is accomplished with a clean filter.
Aside from keeping your fuel system clean, checking your tire pressure is equally important in order to maximize the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Your recommended tire pressure is printed on a sticker in your glove compartment, door jamb or fuel-filler door. This is the ideal pressure for the tires when used on your specific model vehicle. Note: The pressure on the tire wall is the maximum allowable air pressure, not the recommended pressure. Make sure to check your tire pressure once a month.
Always remember to follow the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. |
