From AAA: a million. Get your automobile tuned up in many circumstances to make positive that your spark plugs, oxygen sensor, and burn elements are operating wisely. Ragged operating engines devour extra gas than wisely operating engines. 2. anticipate adjustments in site visitors bypass so that you'll be able to ease into stops and starts off. secure speeds keep gas; use cruise administration even as achieveable. 3. examine your proprietor's guide and easily use accurate fee gas if the producer fairly demands it. some older vehicles could also favor a gas improve. also, once you've an older automobile and in many circumstances listen a valid like marbles interior a tin can (rather once you boost up or climb hills), try 89-octane mid-grade. 4. examine your tire stress usually. once a week is ideal; once a month might want to be the minimum. Even tires in basic terms 4-5 psi decrease than advised inflation decrease mileage by employing 10%. 6. do not save too a lot stuff on your trunk. each and every one hundred kilos of weight reduces gas monetary gadget by employing 2%. chuffed employing!

Different traffic, driving, weather conditions, and tire pressures can all have effects on mpg, easily more than the 2 mpg difference.

make sure that you get and oil change at least every 3000 miles, check your tires for the air pressure if you look at your door jam it will tell you what pressure your tires should have ( be careful because if you have too much air pressure you can get a blowout and if you have too little you mileage sucks) Also make sure that you get your tires balanced and rotated about every 3000 miles. good luck!

Give the car time to break back in again. Everything needs to run, you should see a difference after a while.

the spark plugs usually dont come pre gapped you'll need to find out what they should be gapped at and check them, also sometimes those digital guages are just wrong (something to keep in mind)

make sure your tires are aired up on the high side of the pressure rating.
