5 Ways to Improve Your Car’s Fuel Efficiency This Summer

Save money while you enjoy the drive

With gas prices always changing, every litre counts. Simple maintenance and smart driving habits can help you get more out of every tank.

1. Check your tire pressure regularly

Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, meaning your engine has to work harder and burn more fuel. Keep them at the recommended PSI, especially before road trips.

2. Change your oil on schedule

Fresh oil reduces friction and helps your engine run more efficiently. Ask Hanford’s which oil type is best for your vehicle and driving habits.

3. Lighten your load

Carrying unnecessary weight in your trunk or roof rack lowers mileage. Clear out anything you don’t need for your trip.

4. Avoid extended idling

Modern engines don’t need to “warm up” in the summer. Turn off your car if you’ll be stopped for more than a minute.

5. Stay on top of tune-ups

Regular maintenance like replacing air filters, spark plugs, and checking your fuel system keeps your car running efficiently and reduces emissions.
