Tips for Greater Fuel Economy in Your INFINITI

Maintenance Improvements – Routine maintenance done to your INFINITI can make a significant difference in your vehicle’s overall fuel economy both in the city and on the highway. For example, make sure you are following a regular schedule for replacing your vehicle’s air filter. This helps get better airflow to the engine and helps it work less to achieve the performance you desire. Additionally, take time to check the air pressure in your tires and adjust them accordingly if they are low or uneven. Appropriate tire pressure greatly aids in the fuel economy you’ll experience.  Trust the experts at the Mike Ward INFINITI Service Center to take care of this essential maintenance.  

Speed & Consistency – It’s no surprise that the faster you drive your vehicle, the more fuel it takes for it to maintain the higher speed. It is also important to note that as you accelerate, your vehicle uses considerably more gasoline. When you are out around town or on the highway, you’ll improve your gas mileage if you keep yourself at the posted speed limit or slightly below it. If you’re on the highway, try to keep your driving consistent. Every time you have to accelerate, you cost yourself efficiency. This is where your vehicle’s cruise control capabilities can be very helpful to keep a consistent speed.

Cleaning Out Your Vehicle – Having non-essential items such as trash or personal possessions such as backpacks or golf clubs when you’re not using them gradually lowers your vehicle’s efficiency. This is because the heavier your vehicle is, the more effort your engine has to undertake to reach the speeds you want it to hit. More energy equals more fuel consumption. Take a moment to look through your vehicle and remove anything that you wouldn’t deem essential for everyday travel and see what results your now lighter vehicle achieves.
