Gas cap If you've ever been driving down the
highway and seen another vehicle with their gas
cap hanging out, the driver is likely losing fuel
at the same time. According to AutoZones
website, a missing fuel cap allows gas to
evaporate. A missing gas cap is also a common
reason for a check engine light to activate. To
improve your mileage, be sure to screw on your
gas cap until you hear a few clicks.   Maintenance
There are several maintenance practices that, if
forgotten, can cause your car to run less
efficiently. Unfortunately, many drivers forget
to keep up with routine maintenance, including
oil changes and tire rotations. While some may
think they are saving money by delaying vehicle
maintenance, there could be bigger costs later on
and reduced fuel efficiency - which means filling
up more often. To keep your car running at its
best, be sure to keep up with maintenance when
your vehicle needs it.   Engine tune-up An engine
that is properly tuned will likely run better for
longer. This means your gas can go further and
you can save money over the miles. According to
an MSN Autos article, an engine that is
well-maintained can improve gas efficiency by an
average of 4 percent. Be sure to follow what your
owner's manual recommends when it comes to oil
and air filters.
