Ways to Improve Fuel Economy Year-Round

Short of purchasing a brand new car with fuel-saving innovations or arranging a daily carpool, there are ways that you can squeeze every last penny out of your trips to the gas station this winter. Here at Griffin Motors, we are eager to share our favorite fuel economy tips with you so that you can start saving fuel (and money!) right away!

The first thing you can do to help improve your fuel economy this winter is to strategically plan your route. If you can combine your weekly errands with your afternoon commute, you can potentially save time and fuel by not sitting at a stand-still in heavy traffic. There are also several high-tech apps that you can use to scout out the best route to travel between Point A, Point B, and even Point C with the fewest number of stops. A little bit of advance planning for your commute can go a long way to saving money at the pump.

Before you even get on the road this winter, make sure you check on the pressure in your tires for optimal efficiency. If your tires are under-inflated, you can expect a decrease in fuel efficiency and even safety performance. When you’re on the road, it is important to maintain a slow but safe speed for the driving conditions to maximize fuel economy.

If you and your friend, neighbors, or co-workers travel the same route, a carpool could benefit all of you. Your crew can share a ride and switch out daily driving responsibilities, leaving each of you with a day or two each week to simply enjoy the ride.
