Money Saving Tips!

One of the leading causes of decreased fuel economy is neglected maintenance. This costs consumers millions of dollars in wasted fuel. Items such as dirty air filter, dirty engine oil, worn spark plugs and O2 sensors, and dirty fuel filter are just a few of the neglected maintenance items. Don’t settle for less than top performance from your car. Restore the power and performance of your vehicle. For a limited time SAVE UP TO $63 when you have a maintenance tune-up performed at your local Parts Plus Car Care Center.

Tips for better fuel economy:

  • Avoid quick or "jack rabbit" starts and stops
  • Sitting idle gets zero miles per gallon. Turn the engine off if you've been sitting for more than a minute
  • Drive the speed limit. Gas mileage decreases rapidly at speeds above 65-70 mph
  • Cruise control helps you drive the speed limit and keeps the acceleration smooth and prevents nervous surging
  • Avoid carrying unneeded heavy items in your trunk. An extra 100 pounds in the trunk reduces a typical car's fuel economy by 1-2%.
