I recently bought a Kia Sportage and I love it, but I noticed that I'm not getting the best gas mileage. Is there anything I can do to improve my fuel efficiency?
ReplyHi John, one way to improve your gas mileage is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel efficiency. Also, try to avoid heavy acceleration and braking to conserve fuel. Lastly, consider using cruise control on the highway to maintain a constant speed and save gas.
Hey John, another tip is to avoid idling for long periods of time. If you know you'll be stopped for more than a minute, it's better to turn off the engine. Also, keeping your car properly maintained with regular oil changes and tune-ups can also improve gas mileage.
Hi there, John. Another thing to consider is your driving habits. Aggressive driving can greatly decrease fuel efficiency. Try to anticipate traffic and plan your route to avoid unnecessary stops and starts. And don't forget to remove any unnecessary weight from your car, such as heavy items in the trunk, as this can also affect gas mileage.
