Perform tune ups at factory recommended intervals. This can have a big impact on your fuel efficiency.

Change your oil and filter based on factory recommendations. Most cars require this every 3,000 to 4,000 miles. Check your owners manual.

Have your chassis lubricated regularly. A good rule of thumb is to have this performed at every oil change.

Inspect engine belts and hoses on a regular basis. Look for cracks and have a trained mechanic check tension and wear.
