How to Get Better Gas Mileage in Kennesaw, GA
When you purchase a new Genesis model, you know a superior driving experience awaits you. Each one of your model’s details, from the graceful lines of the exterior to the delicate stitching on the seats, is steeped in luxury — and so is your daily drive. The Genesis of Kennesaw team wants your every expectation to be exceeded as you get behind the wheel of your new model, and that includes your vehicle’s gas mileage. Here are some tips for maximizing fuel efficiency so you can drive farther with less gas consumption.
Schedule your travel time efficiently.
Driving in heavy traffic isn’t just inconvenient — it wastes a significant amount of fuel. If possible, schedule your travel when the roads will be less busy. When running errands, try to make as few trips as possible and make stops in areas that are close together. Plan out your day to take the shortest route between each store or appointment.
Reduce weight.
Although storing outdoor gear, chairs and other items in your car may save time, the excess weight will increase your fuel consumption. Consider removing things from your trunk and back seat if you don’t need them in your car. Take cargo boxes and roof racks off when you’re not using them as well.
Avoid speeding.
Did you know that driving at speeds higher than 50 miles per hour can minimize your fuel efficiency? While it’s often impossible to avoid this on the highway, driving at or below the speed limit on smaller roads isn’t just safe, it’s great for fuel efficiency, too. On the highway, turn on cruise control when safe to do so, and try to avoid slamming on your brakes or accelerating quickly, which burns extra fuel.
Pump gas when the temperature is coolest.
You can maximize your vehicle’s fuel efficiency by pumping gas in the early morning or late night, and here’s why: Fuel is denser when it’s cold, so if you get gas during the chilly times of the day, you’ll end up with more gas than you would when it’s warm outside.
Don't let your vehicle idle for too long.
If you have to wait in your vehicle, turn it off rather than letting it idle. Idling consumes fuel unnecessarily and releases emissions into the air, so it’s better to turn the car off and restart it.
Keep up with maintenance.
One of the best ways to improve gas mileage is by keeping your vehicle in great shape. This includes making sure your tires are inflated, your spark plugs are working properly and your vehicle is aligned.
