How to Improve Your Car’s Fuel Efficiency with Simple Maintenance
With rising fuel prices, improving your car’s fuel efficiency is more important than ever. Whether you’re commuting to work or planning a road trip, getting more miles out of every litre can save you money. But fuel efficiency isn’t just about how you drive — proper car maintenance plays a big role in keeping your fuel consumption low.
Let’s explore how simple maintenance tasks can help you get better fuel efficiency.
Simple Maintenance Tasks to Boost Fuel Efficiency
- Regular Oil Changes
- Warning Signs: Old, dirty oil makes your engine work harder, which can lower fuel efficiency. Keeping your oil fresh and clean reduces engine friction, allowing it to run more smoothly.
- What to do: Schedule regular oil changes to keep your engine performing optimally and save on fuel.
- Properly Inflated Tyres
- Warning Signs: Under-inflated tyres create more rolling resistance, which means your engine has to use more fuel to move the car. Over time, this can significantly decrease your fuel economy.
- What to do: Regularly check your tyre pressure and inflate them to the manufacturer’s recommended levels. For the best results, book a tyre inspection to ensure they are properly inflated and in good condition.
- Replacing Air Filters
- Warning Signs: A dirty or clogged air filter reduces airflow to the engine, causing it to burn more fuel. This can reduce fuel efficiency and engine performance.
- What to do: Replace your air filter regularly to keep your engine running efficiently. Book a filter replacement if it’s been a while since your last check.
- Maintaining the Fuel System
- Warning Signs: A clogged fuel filter or dirty fuel injectors can reduce fuel efficiency by limiting the flow of fuel to your engine. Over time, this can result in poor fuel economy and sluggish performance.
- What to do: Have your fuel system inspected regularly to ensure everything is flowing properly. Book a fuel system service to keep your car running efficiently.
