5 WAYS TO FEEL LESS PAIN AT THE PUMP

Don't let rising gas prices keep you idle this summer. Sticking to your maintenance schedule and following these simple tops will help you get the most fuel efficiency out of your vehicle.

Use the right oil.  Come to us for service and you'll know your vehicle will always get the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. The wrong oil could reduce your gas mileage by 1-2!

Stay properly pumped.  Keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure can improve your gas mileage by up to 3.3 percent. You can find the correct tire pressure for your vehicle on a decal on the driver's side door jamb.

Lose weight for summer.  Remove anything form your vehicle or truck bed that you don't need. An extra 100 pounds in your vehicle could reduce you mpg by up to 2 percent.

Go cruising.  Using cruise control on the highway helps to maintain a constant speed, which can help you save gas in most cases.

Keep cool.  Speeding, punching the gas and sudden braking are all definite fuel-wasters. On the highway, they can lower your gas ileage by around 33 percent. So slow down and save. You'll help make the roads safer too.
