Maximize Your MPG This Spring! | Pleasanton, TX

Warmer weather approaching means it’s the perfect time to start thinking about improving your Ford’s fuel efficiency! At Ford of Pleasanton, we’ve put together some easy yet effective tips to help our Pleasanton, San Antonio, Floresville, Jourdanton, and Poteet, TX, customers maximize your Ford’s fuel efficiency this spring.

Keep Your Vehicle Well-Maintained

The key to maximizing your Ford’s fuel efficiency is regular service. Here’s what you can do to help keep up with your vehicle’s health:

• If your air filters are clogged, the efficiency of your engine is greatly reduced.
• A healthy, smooth-running engine needs routine changes.
• Your tires will naturally resist the road when your pressure is low, which reduces fuel efficiency.
• Your engine can use up more fuel when your wheels are not properly aligned.

Drive Smoothly

The way you drive can also massively impact your fuel efficiency. Remember to maintain as steady a speed as possible when coasting into your stops on the road. When the light turns green, carefully accelerate to avoid reducing fuel efficiency.

Vehicle Weight

The more weight your Ford carries, the more it will affect its MPG rating. To improve fuel efficiency, remove unnecessary items or roof racks when they’re not in use.
