How to Get Better Gas Mileage in Kennesaw, GA
Once you take your new Hyundai vehicle home from Hyundai of Kennesaw , we’re sure that you’re ready to take it out and explore the road ahead. While you’re out there taking advantage of your new model, did you know that there are some quick and easy practices for saving on gas mileage? Are you just using your Hyundai to get to work? Maybe you’re using it for the road trip you’ve always wanted to take. No matter how long your trip is, these practices can help you conserve gas along the way.
Schedule your travel time efficiently.
Do you hate being in stand-still traffic? Did you know that it can negatively affect your gas mileage? When you’re ready to take your next trip, make sure to plan it ahead and map out the best route. If you need to run errands, try picking a time where there won’t be too much traffic. There won’t be as many cars on the road and you can get in quickly and efficiently. Plan your errands to be as close as possible so that you can make short trips to save on gas.
Reduce weight.
Are you going out on a big shopping spree? You might want to rethink loading up your vehicle with an excessive amount of bags. Putting too much weight on your vehicle can coerce it to exude a lot more gas. Do you store a lot of unnecessary things in your vehicle? Consider taking them out and making more room in your model so that you can save more on gas mileage.
Avoid speeding.
Everybody thinks about driving their new model at top speeds, right? While it might seem like the cool thing to do, you may not realize that it tarnishes your fuel efficiency. Exceeding speeds higher than 50 miles per hour can drain your gas mileage — as much as 7% to 14%, in fact. One tactic to help you along your travels is keeping your vehicle on cruise control so that it maintains a constant speed.
Pump gas when the temperature is coolest.
This may seem like a weird suggestion, but filling up your car when it's coldest outside can be an efficient practice to help you save on gas mileage. Because fuel is denser the colder it becomes, you will pump more fuel when it's cold than you will when the temperature is higher.
Don't let your vehicle idle for too long.
Keeping your vehicle idle for some time can cause it to lose a good amount of fuel. Turning off your vehicle will help in the long run, as it conserves fuel. If you’re sitting for a little while, turn it off and then restart it when you’re ready to get going.
Keep up with maintenance.
One of the most important ways to maintain excellent fuel efficiency is to stay on top of your vehicle’s maintenance. You’ll want to keep your tires inflated, replace the spark plugs when needed and get a tire alignment when necessary.
