One of the most reliable alternatives to decrease excessive fuel consumption is by giving it a seasonal synthetic oil change! Stop by the Huff Oil Group in Fayetteville online store, or call (910) 988-9328 to contact an authorized AMSOIL dealer in your area.

Define Your Route

The less you use the car, the less fuel you'll end up using, that's evident, but a straightforward and significantly saving approach is to plan your route. Review all the places you need to go and define the route that takes less time to complete. You can resort to using social media and apps that point you practically in real-time to the quickest route to avoid the traffic so you can make a better decision on your way. In the best-case scenario, you'll reduce your monthly and yearly fuel expenses in the long run by reducing fuel consumption.

Regulate the Use of the Air-Conditioning System

Many people wonder if the air conditioner uses fuel, and if so, how much gasoline does it consume? There's undeniable higher fuel consumption with air conditioning turned on. Although it doesn't consume much, it would be good to avoid using the air conditioning when it's unnecessary. If you're driving slowly, the best thing to do is to roll down the windows so that the incoming air cools the vehicle. On the contrary, if you go fast, it's best to roll the windows up and turn on the air conditioning. When driving over 30 mi/h and with the windows down, the incoming air will create more resistance for the engine, causing it to consume more fuel.

Check Your Tires

Speaking of engine resistance, tires in poor condition produce the most of it; therefore, greater fuel consumption and emission of polluting gases occur. From selecting the right tires for your car to checking pressure levels, and tire wear and performing alignment and balancing, it's essential to keep your tires in good condition to reduce unnecessary fuel consumption.

Don't Carry Excess Weight in the Car

It's common to carry excess things in the car, clothes, boxes, and unnecessary tools. It's said that for every extra 40 pounds in the car, there is an additional 1% consumption. It doesn't seem like much, but with greater weight and miles traveled, the cost will increase as time goes by. It's best to be careful and prevent this on time.

Injection System

Just as you check the exhaust, you must also verify the car's injection system; that's the system in charge of bringing the fuel to the engine. The better the combustion, the less energy is consumed, and there is less emission of polluting gases if you maintain a healthy exhaustion system. In the same way, the air and oil filters are essential to guarantee the correct combustion of the engine, so it's best to keep them pristine to prevent breakdowns.

Essential maintenance can be performed at home and can improve your vehicle’s performance. To find out more, speak with an AMSOIL expert on the subject by calling Huff Oil Group in Fayetteville at (910) 988-9328. Of course, a synthetic oil change can also decrease excessive fuel consumption and improve the performance and lifespan of any vehicle.

How to Reduce Car Waste?

A much-overlooked factor in car pollution is auto parts' use and disposal. They are another source of waste that affects the environment, so you must know how to treat them and avoid their excessive use.

Oil Levels

It may sound simple, but checking your oil, brake fluid, and water levels prevent your car's systems from suffering premature damage and, therefore, extend the useful life of these liquids to avoid unnecessary top-offs.

Alignment and Balance

To avoid further contamination when disposing of spare parts, the only thing you can do is prevent wear and tear. Tires are one of the most significant contamination sources, so taking care of them and learning how to dispose of them is imperative. Alignment and balancing will prevent your tires from wearing unevenly. If this happens, you must change them ASAP.

Dealing with Waste

There is no way to entirely avoid the waste of spare parts, but you can avoid polluting too much with them. Metals and tires can be taken to recycling centers and oil residues to treatment centers to prevent them from contaminating a river or lake.

Lastly,

As much as you love your vehicle, you should know when to change it for another car. Over-repairs lead to more waste, more expense, and higher fuel consumption. Therefore, if possible, consider the possibility of getting a new car. If your budget is tight, you should opt for a car lease. With this scheme, you can deduct monthly payments, car expenses, and even a percentage of fuel from taxes.
