Lower Mainland drivers can improve their fuel economy regardless of the type of vehicle they use. In addition to getting regular maintenance at the Skaha Ford Service Centre, you can take steps on your own to decrease gas use. 1. Check your tire pressure once per month to ensure proper inflation. The engine will have to work harder if the wheels are flatter than they should be.
2. Change the oil and the engine air filter on time. If you do this at a service centre, the mechanic can also check battery function, spark plugs, and other lubricants.Â
3. Do not carry loads unnecessarily. Extra weight can decrease efficiency, so storing cargo in a garage or carport can help improve fuel economy.
4. Do not idle for more than a minute. Running the engine, even without moving, can use up to four litres of gas per hour.Â
If you would like to ensure that all your vehicle's components are operating at peak efficiency, contact our service centre today to schedule an inspection.
