The market has been interesting lately. Rising inflation and crazy gas prices can significantly impact your budget, especially when you have to factor in necessary maintenance and additional inevitable spending. However, there are some things you can do to extend the fuel effiency of your truck - which will save you time and money and contribute to the overall health of your vehicle in the long run.
Try to Speed Less and Keep Your Speed Steady
Radford customers - did you know that rapid acceleration and hard braking damper the fuel efficiency of your Chevy Colorado? Try to use cruise control and maintain a speed within the speed limit. Also, cruise control can help you extend your fuel efficiency; we recommend experimenting with what feels best.
Check Your Tire Pressure
Having tires out of the proper PSI range can negatively impact your fuel efficiency and the longevity of Christiansburg customers' Chevy Silverado trucks. To ensure both efficacies and to negate the need to buy new tires due to being out of range, make sure you check your tire pressure.
Remove Unnecessary Clutter
The more significant the weight on your vehicle, the more power it takes to run it. Having weighted customizations can drastically reduce your fuel efficiency. Blacksburg residents, take a look at some items to consider moving below:
