Knowing how to get better gas milage can help save money and reduce our impact on the planet. Better fuel economy means fewer emissions, less pollution and a lighter burden on our planet's finite resources. As drivers, we're all looking for solutions to go further on a tank of gas. Here are a few ways you can achieve that goal: ## 1\. Regular Maintenance Regular maintenance is important for boosting your car's fuel efficiency. It doesn’t always mean taking it to a shop or spending a lot of money. There are simple steps you can do yourself to keep it running smoothly. Simple tasks you can perform at home can significantly improve mileage. A well-maintained vehicle operates more efficiently, requiring less fuel to run. - **Tire Maintenance:** Keep your tires inflated to the recommended pressure. This helps reduce rolling resistance, and improves your gas mileage. - **Air Filter Replacement:** Change clogged air filters regularly to ensure good airflow. This helps your engine burn fuel more efficiently. - **Engine Tuning:** Regular tune-ups are important for your car. This includes changing spark plugs and checking the ignition system. These steps keep your engine running smoothly and help you save fuel. ## 2\. Driving Smoothly Aggressive driving, such as speeding up quickly and braking suddenly, can hurt your fuel efficiency. On the highway, it can lower fuel efficiency by up to 33%. In the city, it can reduce it by about 5%. By adopting a smoother driving style, you can conserve fuel and reduce wear and tear on your vehicle. - **Smooth Acceleration and Deceleration:** Gradually accelerate and decelerate to minimize fuel consumption. - **Maintain Speed:** Driving at a steady speed on highways uses less fuel than constantly speeding up and slowing down. Keeping a consistent pace helps improve fuel efficiency. Setting cruise control on highway driving is a good way to put this into practice. - **Minimize Idling:** Turn off your engine if you're parked for a long time. This saves fuel and cuts down on pollution from unnecessary emissions. ## 3\. Use High-Quality Fuel and Fill Before Approaching Empty  Premium fuel isn’t required for all cars, but it can still make a difference. Using high-quality gasoline without extra impurities helps the engine run better. It can also improve fuel efficiency, making your car more effective on the road. It’s also good practice to fill your tank before it gets too close to empty. Driving with a nearly empty tank can cause debris from the bottom of the fuel tank to get into the fuel filter. This can clog the filter and may lead to engine damage or even cause the car to stop working. ## Find this Helpful? Get More with Our Free Newsletter ## 4\. Fuel Additives Fuel additives are chemicals made to improve how your car uses fuel. They help clean engine parts and make the fuel burn more efficiently. Products like fuel system cleaners, octane boosters, and fuel stabilizers can help your engine run better. They remove buildup, keep engine parts lubricated, and make fuel burn more efficiently. This can lead to better gas mileage and lower emissions. Such as [CRC 1-Tank Power Renew Gasoline](https://www.crcindustries.com/gasoline-1-tank-power-renew-174-15-fl-oz/) ## 5\. Engine Cleaning Over time, carbon, dirt, and debris can build up in your engine, making it run less smoothly and wasting fuel. Products like fuel injector cleaners and intake valve cleaners can remove buildup from your engine. This helps your engine run smoother and use less gas. Using these cleaners regularly can prevent buildup and keep your engine running well.  - **Fuel Injector Cleaning:** Carbon can build up on fuel injectors over time. This can affect how the fuel is sprayed and lower engine efficiency. A fuel injector cleaner, like [CRC Guaranteed To Pass®](https://www.crcindustries.com/guaranteed-to-pass-174-emissions-test-formula-12-fl-oz-291/) Emissions System Cleaner, can remove this buildup. This helps the injectors work better and improves performance.  - **Intake Valve Cleaning:** Carbon buildup on intake valves can impede airflow and fuel atomization. Consider using intake valve cleaner products that dissolve carbon deposits effectively. Some products require direct application through the intake manifold, while others can be added to the fuel tank. [CRC® GDI IVD® Intake Valve & Turbo Cleaner](https://www.crcindustries.com/gdi-ivd-intake-valve-cleaner/) is a great option for removing carbon buildup on GDI and standard fuel-injected engines. It helps with easier starts and provides smoother engine performance.  - **Mass Air Flow Sensor Cleaning:** Dust, dirt, pollen and other airborne particles can accumulate on the MAF sensor over time. [CRC® Mass Air Flow Cleaner](https://www.crcindustries.com/maf-mass-air-flow-sensor-cleaner/) is the original, dedicated mass air flow sensor cleaner, helping to increase horsepower, enhance fuel efficiency, and improve engine performance. ## 6\. Aerodynamic Enhancements Reducing aerodynamic drag can enhance fuel efficiency, especially at higher speeds. You might want to install aerodynamic accessories like wind deflectors, streamlined mirrors, and spoilers. These can reduce drag and help improve your car's fuel mileage. An easy way to reduce drag is by taking off roof racks or external cargo boxes when you're not using them. These add wind resistance, especially on highways, and can cause your car to use more fuel. ## 7\. Reduce Vehicle Weight Carrying excess weight in your vehicle can lower fuel economy. For every 100 pounds of additional weight, you can reduce your MPG by about 1%. While this may seem small, the cumulative effect can be noticeable, especially over time or on longer trips. - **Declutter Your Car:** Remove any unnecessary items from your vehicle’s trunk or cabin that add extra weight. - **Lighten the Load:** If possible, avoid traveling with heavy cargo unless absolutely necessary. ## 8\. Use the Right Motor Oil Using the manufacturer-recommended grade of motor oil can improve your vehicle’s fuel efficiency by 1-2%. Look for motor oils that contain additives designed to reduce friction. Avoid using oils that are too thick or too light for your engine, as this can affect how smoothly your engine runs. ## 9\. Plan Your Trips Combining errands into one trip can save time, money, and fuel. Starting your car when it's cold uses more fuel, so combining trips can help reduce the number of starts. Planning your route to avoid heavy traffic and rush-hour times can also improve fuel efficiency. ## 10\. Choose Fuel-Efficient Vehicles If you're in the market for a new car, consider fuel efficiency as one of the most important factors in your decision. Hybrid and electric cars are great options if you want to use less fuel. However, even with gas-powered cars, some models are a lot more fuel-efficient than others. When purchasing a new car, check the EPA's fuel economy ratings and choose a vehicle that best meets your needs while maximizing fuel savings. ## Conclusions on How to Get Better Gas Mileage Improving your fuel efficiency doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive. By using these easy tips and making small changes to how you drive and take care of your car, you can save fuel. This means spending less money on gas and helping the environment by lowering your car’s emissions. Even a few simple changes can make a big difference in how well your car uses fuel.
