The US Environmental Protection Agency requires all gas stations to have Winter Blend fuel at the pump by September 15th. Winter Blend gas has less energy content than Summer Blends and is also less expensive to produce. In addition to possibly lower fuel prices, you may also see your fuel economy drop.
Below are some tips for boosting your MPG and saving some money.
Fuel Saving Tips
Get the junk out of the trunk
Summer is mostly over. It's time to take your summer-time toys and recreational items out of the car and reduce the weight. Less weight = Higher MPG
Check your tire pressure regularly
Cooler temperatures are coming. With every 10 degrees of temperature drop, tires drop 1-2 pounds of pressure. Properly inflated tires are essential for necessary traction on the road. Underinflated tires also have higher rolling resistance which reduces your fuel economy
Avoid idling your engine
Excessive idling wastes fuel and causes engine wear
Use Cruise Control
Your vehicle's cruise control can do a much better job of maintaining a constant speed than your foot can. A constant speed improves fuel economy
Drive the speed limit
Allow yourself extra time to get to appointments so you don't need to speed. Quick starts and speeding wastes fuel
Maintain your vehicle
Follow recommendations for regular oil changes and tire rotations which can improve fuel economy
