With gas prices on the rise, you're probably wondering if there's anything you can do to save money at the pump on your summer road trips. The good news is that you can help your car get better mileage by doing a few routine maintenance tasks before you hit the road.
An oil change removes dust and debris buildup from the engine and gets replaced with clean oil. The new oil reduces friction, and keeps the engine cool and lubricated, which means the engine doesn't have to work as hard and uses less fuel.
Checking and maintaining air pressure in your tires helps them wear evenly and puts less stress on the engine, burning less fuel.
By lightening your load and leaving behind large or heavy items you don't need, the vehicle will need less gas to travel the same distance.
