How do I improve fuel economy in my Kia Sportage?

I just purchased a Kia Sportage and I am wondering if there are any tips or tricks to improve my fuel economy. I want to make sure I am getting the most out of my new car.

One way to improve fuel economy is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. This reduces drag and improves mileage. You should also consider using synthetic oil, as it can improve fuel economy by up to 2%. Additionally, try to avoid idling for long periods of time and make sure to keep up with regular maintenance such as oil changes and air filter replacements.

Another tip is to drive at a consistent speed and avoid aggressive acceleration and braking. This can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 33%. Also, remove any excess weight from your car as it can add to fuel consumption. Consider using cruise control on highways to maintain a steady speed. Lastly, using the correct octane level of gasoline recommended by your car's manufacturer can also improve fuel economy.

Don't forget to regularly check and replace your spark plugs. Dirty or old spark plugs can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 30%. You may also want to consider using a fuel cleaner additive to help improve fuel economy. And lastly, try to avoid using your car's air conditioning unless necessary, as it can significantly reduce fuel economy.
