With the ever-changing price of gas, it is important to know how to get the most fuel-efficiency out of your vehicle. Here are a few tips on how to increase your gas mileage while cruising around Birmingham this summer.

Service Toyota
Another great way to increase your mpg is to keep your car maintained. Sometimes it can be easy to ignore the “service engine” light, but it is important for many reasons not to. Getting your car serviced regularly will keep your car running in the fuel-efficient range. Properly inflated tires reduce drag, thus increasing your mileage even more. Increased gas mileage is only one reason to get your car maintained regularly.
Toyota Driving Habits
Another way to save gas while sitting on 280 is to go easy on your pedals. In rush hour traffic it can be easy to stop and go and stop and go, but speeding, braking, and rapid acceleration waste a ton of gas!
Slowing down is another way to save money on gas. Anytime you are driving over 60 mpg, your car is much less fuel-efficient. Driving at slower speeds can save anywhere from 21-71 cents per gallon!
Turning your car off will also save gas. Anytime you are going to be sitting in your car for a while, it is best for your wallet, and the environment if you turn your car off.
