I've noticed that my Kia Sportage is not getting as many miles per gallon as it used to. What steps can I take to improve its fuel efficiency?
ReplyOne way to increase fuel efficiency is to make sure you are properly inflating your tires. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel economy by up to 3%, so regularly checking and inflating your tires can make a difference.
Another tip is to avoid idling your car for long periods of time. Idling consumes fuel without actually moving the car, so if you know you'll be sitting for more than a minute, it's best to turn off the engine.
You can also try to minimize your use of air conditioning, as it can decrease fuel economy by up to 10%. Instead, try opening the windows or using the air conditioning sparingly.
