Service and Driving Tips to Save on Fuel

It’s the question on everyone’s mind these days — how can I improve my vehicle’s mileage and save on fuel? Whether you’re driving a Chevy Malibu or , Chevrolet, GMC  service technicians have some tips and tricks to help you get the most out of every gallon and help you save money at the pump.

Gas-Saving Driving Tips

These are just a few ways you can improve mileage in your Chevrolet SUV.

• 1. Check Your Tires. Visit our service center for a tire rotation to make sure your tires are wearing evenly, since uneven wear can lead to increased fuel usage. And check your tire pressure regularly to make sure you’re getting the optimal inflation, which improves mileage. Make sure you keep a tire pressure gauge in your glove compartment, just in case.
• 2. Get Aerodynamic. The drag from things like roof racks or open windows at high speeds can mean your vehicle has to work harder to maintain its speed, which uses more fuel, so take advantage of the already aerodynamic designs on GMC, and Chevy vehicles for better mileage.
• 3. Go Easy. Whether you’re getting up to speed or getting ready for a stop, going slow and easy on acceleration and braking helps your vehicle use less gas, so take your time.
• 4. Take a Load Off. The more weight your vehicle is carrying, the more fuel it will need to keep moving, so take some time to clean out your car, truck, or SUV and make sure you’re only carrying what you need.

In addition to these tips, regular service is a good way to make sure you’re getting the most out of every tank of gas. Call Team Chevrolet, GMC today to schedule a service visit or talk to one of our friendly associates!
