Some Repairs You Can Get Done On Your Vehicle That Will Lower Your Gasoline Consumption
By GARKO
These are some tips on how to improve your fuel mileage that you probably have not done.
HAVE YOUR BRAKES CHECKED
If your brakes are too tight for any of numerous of causes could be reducing your gasoline mileage. If the brakes are causing a "drag" that the engine continuously needs to fight then it can be a safety hazard and the gasoline mileage of your car.
OXYGEN SENSOR
If your oxygen sensor is faulty, fixing it can improve your fuel mileage by as much as 40%!
HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR CAR's WHEEL ALIGNMENT?
Another drag, or source of drag, is misaligned wheels. This can bring about drag and vibrations. I love rock and roll as much as the next guy but not from my car. Get it repaired. It shouldn't cost much and it will save you money in the long run and improve your fuel mileage
CATALYTIC CONVERTER NOT CONVERTING?
An impeded exhaust system will waste fuel. Also a catalytic converter that is not operating correctly and impeding the flow of air will be a trouble source for your
fuel performance. These are things for pro mechanics to investigate for you. Especially since there are parts that sometimes fall apart inside the catalytic converter that you won't be able to access without proper tools and know-how. Only use a mechanic you trust so they don't take you to the cleaners.
GAS CAP
About one out of sixof fuel caps are damaged or missing which amounts to 147 million gallons of fuel per year that islost. Most of it from YOUR car, buddy! (kidding)
DON'T FREAK!
My intention is for you to enjoy your driving and improve your fuel mileage not fret and freak over every little thing. So forget these other suggestions about unjunking your trunk or whether or not you should have your airconditioner on, etc. Those really don't make much difference.
But making sure that your car is in good overall condition as above might just make a difference and improve your fuel mileage Entrepreneur, consumer advocate, songwriter and activist, GARKO, recommends Water-For-fuel technology as the best solution for way to increase fuel mileage and as an alternative in cheap fuel solutions For a list of current fuel prices in your neighborhood email garko@startlingdiscoveries.info
