Gas Saving Car Care Tips: We all know that having a regularly serviced and
tuned car leads to savings on gas with enhanced fuel economy but what many fail
to realize is they can help save on gas and money by performing a few, simple
and easy car care steps themselves.
Tighten Up the Gas Cap: Every time
we fill up at the pump we slap the gas cap back on and give it a turn usually
until we hear the "click" and then forget about it. Make sure you have the cap
on firmly and tightly so it as airtight as you can make it without threading the
plastic cap itself. The reason is simple, gas evaporates quickly, and even a
slight failure to provide an airtight seal with your gas cap will result in
wasted gas and wasted money. Screw the cap on firmly and tightly and check it
every day.
Don't Top Off the Tank: Many people do this when they are at
the gas pump the nozzle clicks off but they insist on putting in the last few
drops of gas to get the tank literally full to the brim. This is a complete
waste of gas as most of it will slop over the side, running down the paintwork
helping cause discoloration and damage. It can also get all over your hands
which is dangerous and no good for them. When the gas pump nozzle clicks off,
you are safely full, put the gas nozzle back in its holder and do not top off
your tank.
Use Lower Octane Fuel: Every gas station has higher octane
fuels offering better engine and car performance or less wear and tear on the
engine. This is a myth ignore these claims and fill up with the cheaper lower
octane fuels; unless you have a very high performance vehicle you will never
experience any material difference in performance or engine wear. For the
average motorist, purchasing high octane fuel is a waste of money.
Park
in the Shade: Many drivers do this automatically because do not want to sit on
hot leather and do not like coming back to a vehicle that feels like a sauna.
However, there is another good reason for making sure you park your vehicle in a
shaded area. The hotter the car is the faster the gas in your fuel tank will
evaporate! Always park in shade; this will keep the vehicle cooler which will
lead to more comfort for you and your passengers as well as less strain on your
wallet. If you don't have shady areas or can't find one, you can always use a
car cover with a high UV resistance. DuPont
Tyvek car cover for example is the
best sunproof cover we offer. Made of high quality DuPont Tyvek, this will can
keep your vehicle up to 30 degrees cooler in the hot sun. The Car Cover also has
very good UV protection and will protect against harsh weather.
Use Your
Garage: Parking the car in the garage helps keep the vehicle cool in summer and
warm in winter. This helps reduce your use of the gas chugging air conditioner
or defroster and results in less gas consumption as well as enhanced security
for your vehicle. Not to mention, parking your car in a garage provides
protection against dings and dents caused by the neighborhood kids playing ball
nearby. If you are concerned about dust accumulating on your vehicle, we
recommend a car cover with good dust protection, like The Premium or Supreme. As
you can see, these gas saving tips are all very simple and easy to accomplish
and the savings will be immediate.
