We are sure that you have heard many ideas about keeping
your RPMs to a minimum and your fuel efficiency to a maximum. Appropriately
inflated tires, cruise control, and a light vehicle load can all help you keep
your wallet as thick as possible. We at Sheehy Nissan of Glen Burnie want
to keep you ahead of the curve though, so here are our latest ideas for maximum
fuel efficiency.
Drive Defensively
If you are the aggressive type of driver, then understand
that your attitude can influence how your foot behaves around the acceleration
pedal. Aggressive driving can create higher speeds, sporadic acceleration, and
a generally inefficient driving experience. Take it easy, keep a steady pace,
and you will notice spending less time at the fuel pump.
Streamline Your Vehicle
Although a lot of the aerodynamics of your vehicle is
predetermined by the Chevrolet research and development departments, there are
some things that you can do to minimize drag. Always keep windows and moon
roofs close on the freeway, and keep your vehicle free of debris.
Put it into High Gear
If you operate a manual transmission, then you likely
understand that the higher the gear, the lower the engine works. Don’t redline
your engine in first and second, and always try to smoothly and safely
transition into the highest gear available as quickly as possible.
Carpool
Find friends in classes or at work and determine who lives
near you. You can swing by on the way to your job or school and ask them to
pitch in for gas later on. A carpooling initiative at your work or school might
be the perfect idea to get everyone excited and working together. Plus, having
a buddy in the car will make your trips shorter!
Plan Your Errands
A warmer engine runs more efficiently than a stale, cold
one. If you have a to-do list than involves driving around town, plan out the
most efficient route and try to carry it out with as little engine downtime as
possible.
We hope these tips help you pinch pennies during each mile
that you travel.
