I have noticed that my Kia Sorento is not getting the fuel efficiency that was advertised. What can I do to improve the fuel efficiency of my vehicle?
ReplyOne of the best ways to improve fuel efficiency is to regularly check and replace your air filter. A dirty air filter can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 10%. Make sure to change it every 12,000 miles or according to your vehicle's manual.
Proper tire inflation is also key to improving fuel efficiency. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 3%. Make sure to check your tire pressure monthly and keep it at the recommended level.
Another tip is to avoid unnecessary idling. If you are going to be stationary for more than 30 seconds, turn off your engine. This can save you up to a gallon of gas per hour.
Consider using a fuel additive to help improve fuel efficiency. Look for ones that specifically target cleaning the engine and improving mileage. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
