Answer 1

Check the air pressure in your tires. Low air pressure reduces your gas mileage. Check the door placard to see what your town & country's recommonded air pressure is. When the time comes to replace your tires think about buying a quality tire and use nitrogen to fill them. Nitrogen runs cooler and well you understand the rest.
Good Luck

Answer 2

in basic terms remember to get and oil substitute a minimum of each and every 3000 miles, examine your tires for the air stress in case you look at your door jam this is going to allow you to recognize what stress your tires must have ( be careful because once you've too a lot air stress you will get a blowout and once you've too little you mileage sucks) also in basic terms remember to get your tires balanced and circled about each and every 3000 miles. sturdy success!
