new 2018 nissan sentra for sale edmonds kirkland washingtonHi Robert,

I’m happy to say I’ve just started working for a new company. Unfortunately, now I have to make a 30-mile commute each way in my 2018 Nissan Sentra. Do you have any tips on how to improve my gas mileage?

Thanks,
Emma

Hi, Emma!

Congratulations on the new job! There are a number of things you can do to ensure you won’t be spending too much of your earnings on gas for your 2018 Nissan Sentra.

Most people accelerate unnecessarily quickly and burn a lot of fuel in the process. Get up to speed gradually and watch your mpg figures increase as a result.

You should also try not to apply the brakes unless it's necessary. Every time your Sentra slows down, you use fuel to bring its speed back up afterward. Leave enough distance between your vehicle and the car in front so that you can maintain a steady pace: this will certainly increase your gas mileage.

Finally, you should clear out any unnecessary items from your trunk and back seat. If you’re carrying around an extra 50 pounds everywhere you go, it puts extra stress on your engine and really starts to add up.

Thanks for the question, Emma! Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Kirkland Nissan, Washington again.
