I just bought a Kia Rio and I've noticed that it doesn't have the best fuel economy. It seems like I have to fill up more frequently than I did with my previous car. Is there anything I can do to improve the fuel efficiency?
ReplyOne thing you can do to improve the fuel economy is to make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can decrease your fuel efficiency by up to 3%. You can find the recommended tire pressure for your car in the owner's manual.
Another tip is to avoid unnecessary idling. If you're going to be stopped for more than 30 seconds, it's better to turn off the engine. You can also try to combine errands and plan your route to avoid backtracking.
Maintaining a consistent speed on the highway can also help improve fuel efficiency. Try to use cruise control whenever possible to avoid unnecessary acceleration and deceleration.
