Gas prices are still up across the country, and drivers are feeling the burn. But did you know that a few simple Mazda service tasks can actually help to increase your gas mileage?
If you’re looking to maximize your fuel economy, here are four different types of maintenance for your Mazda car that should be at the top of your list.
- Change Your Oil
One of the first steps you can take to help with your gas mileage is to ensure your oil is in good condition. Having either too much or not enough oil can cause your engine to experience more friction, which limits the power it can make. Scheduling regular oil changes at Gullo Mazda will help your engine stay as efficient as possible.
- Check Your Tires
Many drivers don’t realize how much improperly inflated tires can affect your fuel economy. Tires that are over-inflated or under-inflated can be a serious detriment to your fuel tank. Checking your tires’ pressure and having them rotated regularly can help to up your gas mileage.
- Maintain Your A/C
Texas summers are nothing to mess around with, so hopefully the air conditioning in your vehicle is running well already. But if your A/C isn’t working as effectively as possible, that means it’s drawing extra power from your engine, which can increase your gas usage.
- Inspect Air Systems
Your air intake and exhaust systems are how your engine is ventilated, and if these systems are blocked, they are reducing the power your engine should be producing. This means your fuel economy won’t be as high as it could be. Ensure these systems are running correctly to help with gas mileage.
