Simple driving and maintenance habits that may reduce costs. Here’s a straightforward place to start, with the questions and details worth checking before you make a decision.
Drive smoothly
Avoiding unnecessary rapid acceleration and hard braking can improve fuel efficiency. Follow traffic laws and keep a safe distance.
Stay current on basic maintenance
Check tire pressure against the vehicle placard when tires are cold, maintain the recommended service schedule and address warning lights.
Plan errands together
Combining nearby trips may reduce total miles. Compare the savings against time and convenience rather than driving far out of the way for a tiny pump discount.
See the bigger cost picture
Fuel is only part of ownership. Insurance, registration, depreciation, financing and repairs often deserve just as much attention.
The cheapest gas across town may cost more to reach than it saves.
