It can be frustrating to watch your fuel economy plummet, especially when energy prices are volatile. However, there are plenty of ways that you can help make the most of your mileage. Mercedes-Benz of Lynnwood shares three ways to maximize your Mercedes-Benz fuel efficiency.
Improve Your Driving Habits
Increasing your fuel efficiency can be as simple as changing the way you drive. If you are constantly accelerating as fast as you can or slamming on the brakes, you’re consistently consuming more fuel than necessary. Take time to accelerate, especially from a standstill. Stay a safe distance from others so that you can take time to stop and even coast to a stop, when possible.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
Mercedes-Benz maintenance can also easily improve your fuel efficiency. Engine oil is imperative to keep your engine working effectively, although it can become dirty and contaminated over time. As it ages, it can strain your engine, which wastes fuel. If you don’t rotate your tires regularly, it increases uneven tire wear and drag, which also leads to unnecessary fuel consumption.
Check Your Tire Pressure
When it comes to your fuel efficiency, keeping your tires at the optimal PSI (pounds per square inch) is also imperative. Underinflated tires can increase rolling resistance, which increases drag and fuel consumption. You can see the ideal tire pressure for your vehicle outlined in your owner’s manual. To get an accurate reading, make sure you always check your tire pressure when your tires are cold (before driving it).
