Common Mistakes
One of the biggest mistakes I see is not properly maintaining your vehicle. Neglecting regular oil changes, air filter replacements, and other routine maintenance can seriously impact your fuel efficiency. I know it's tempting to skip those services, but trust me, it's not worth it in the long run. Another common issue is driving aggressively. Rapid acceleration, speeding, and sudden braking all guzzle gas. I get it, the urge to put the pedal to the metal can be strong, but try to keep a light foot and anticipate stops.
How to Avoid Them
When you use the Fuel Savings With New Car, in the Midwest, where I live, that's especially important during the winter when the roads can be slick. And don't forget about the impact of your tires. Underinflated or misaligned tires create more rolling resistance, which means your engine has to work harder.
