Question:
What can I do to improve my fuel economy?
Petty Motorworks LLC Answer:

There are actually a lot of things WARETOWN drivers can do – some of them are pretty easy. One of the first things is make sure their tires are properly inflated. On the inside of the driver's door or door jamb is a plate that indicates the correct tire pressure. Careful – there might be a different pressure for the front and rear tires. Check them at least once a month.

Carrying extra weight in the vehicle hurts . Leave unnecessary stuff home. Do we even need to mention driving fast around WARETOWN and jackrabbit starts? Gently accelerate and plan your stops so that you can ease into them a bit. This really makes a big difference. Now there are a number of maintenance items that improve fuel economy for WARETOWN drivers. Lubricants should be replaced on schedule – dirty oil, transmission fluid and differential fluid cause more friction and drag which hurt . A big one is having a fuel system cleaning done if needed. A dirty fuel system can really reduce engine efficiency and increase fuel consumption.

And if your Check Engine light is on, take your vehicle in to Petty Motorworks LLC in WARETOWN for a diagnosis. Some conditions that trigger the light can really hurt your fuel economy.
