The reason why most vehicles get poor gas mileage (mpg) and low fuel economy includes the following reasons:
- You are using low quality fuel
- Your vehicle needs a tune up
- You allow your vehicle to idle for long periods
Also, during winter, vehicles may notice a dip in fuel economy because winter fuel has more alcohol added to it and will affect your fuel economy negatively.
To improve fuel economy:
- Schedule an engine tune up for your vehicle
- Schedule a throttle body service for your vehicle
- Check your tire pressure and make sure it matches recommended manufacturer specifications
- Have your air and fuel filters changed regularly
- Use the proper quality gas that is recommended for your vehicle
Schedule an engine tune up
