Your vehicle's fuel economy can vary wildly based on a variety of different factors. Fortunately, there are several steps you can take today to help maximize its efficiency.
For one, make sure your car is being serviced and maintained regularly with us here at Hyman Bros. Kia in Midlothian, VA. The exact service schedule varies based on the make and model of your car. Consult the included manual or our dealership with any questions regarding the schedule. An improperly serviced car can lose a large portion of its fuel economy depending on the severity of the issue.
In addition to proper service, always try to make sure you are practicing safe driving habits. Aggressive driving can cause your car to burn much more fuel when you are in stop-and-go traffic. Aggressive driving includes things like excessive braking, speeding, and rapid acceleration. To prevent this, always allow plenty of travel time during your commutes.
By following these steps you can be sure you are getting the most out of your vehicle's fuel economy.
