Change your cars air filter at least every 6 months. Air filters get dirty from road dirt and bugs and deprive your engine of air that can led to poor combustion in your cylinders. This has really helped my car in saving fuel. |

Keep the tires properly
inflated. Check with the cars owners’ manual for the correct psi. Under
inflated tires will reduce your fuel mileage. |

Get regular tune ups as designated in the owner’s manual. Tune ups are an important part of keeping the engine running at peak performance. |

Choose to buy mild hybrids next time. They can easily save you 8% on fuel bills, easily. The making of mild hybrid is as simple as getting rid of the starter motor and using the alternator(redesigned) as a starter. Only need some work with the component makers.
