How do I increase my Kia Rio's fuel efficiency?

I recently purchased a Kia Rio and I've noticed that it's not getting the best gas mileage. What steps can I take to improve its fuel efficiency and save money in the long run?

The first thing you can do is make sure your tires are properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 3%. So check your tires regularly and inflate them to the recommended pressure.

Another way to improve fuel efficiency is to avoid aggressive driving. This means avoiding sudden accelerations and braking, which can decrease your gas mileage. Instead, try to maintain a consistent speed and anticipate upcoming traffic to avoid unnecessary braking.

Regular maintenance is also key to improving fuel efficiency. Make sure to get regular oil changes, clean or replace air filters, and check for any other issues that could be affecting your car's performance.

Lastly, be mindful of your car's weight. The more weight your car carries, the harder it has to work and the more fuel it will use. So try to remove any unnecessary items from your car and avoid using a roof rack unless absolutely necessary.
