At Volvo Cars of Bloomington, we know that many customers would like to maximize their fuel economy. After all, gas prices can add up over time. Here are some ideas to consider.
When you're on the roads in Bloomington, IN, try to maintain a steady speed. This can be much more efficient than speeding up quickly and slowing down again a bit later. Along the same line of thinking, try to coast to decelerate rather than hitting the brakes so hard. Also, when you're ready to get going after a stop sign or a red light, accelerate smoothly to conserve gas.
It's a good idea to periodically check your tire pressure. Tires can naturally lose a bit of pressure, especially in the colder months, and driving on under-inflated tires isn't very efficient. Finally, think about whether you can remove any excess weight in terms of cargo or accessories. It takes more fuel to transport more weight.
