I was always told this. I just want to assure myself that it's true so that I can get a tune up as soon as possible on my car.

Only if it is out of tune and if it is actually possible to make any tune-up adjustments on your engine. If it's something like a '70 Chevy Nova and hasn't had a tune-up in two years, you're likely to see an improvement. A new car with EFI, a coil on plug ignition, and platinum spark plugs has only changing the spark plugs left among the usual tune-up items, and doesn't even require that for 60,000 miles.

you have to look at several diffrent things like year of vehicle and how well kept the vehicle is and when the last tune had been done.oil changes are recommende every three months or three thousand miles.. electrical tune ups are recommended every twenty five thousand miles..

yes but don't forget tire pressure (free!) and when was the last time you repacked the wheel bearings ? your not driving around with a roof rack on are you ? some purists will say wax it but i think that's pushing the wind resistance thing too far ! the best thing for mileage is a light right foot !!!!!!

YES. IF YOU ALL OF A SUDDEN NOTICE THAT YOUR VEHICLE IS USING MORE GAS THAN IT USUALLY DOES, IT PROBABLY NEEDS A TUNE-UP. THAT'S THE FIRST STEP IN DETERMINING THAT SOMETHING ELSE ISN'T WRONG TOO; B/C IT SHOULD GO BACK TO IT'S NORMAL GAS USAGE AFTER THAT.

Jimmy's approximately top. additionally inflate tires to the severe ingredient of specs. next time you replace tires, bypass a length taller and thinner. And lighten foot between stoplights different than to hit that eco-friendly.
