Easy vehicle maintenance actions that can help offset rising gas prices:
Motorists can improve gas mileage by around 3.3 percent simply by keeping tires inflated to the proper pressure, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, which says underinflated tires can lower gas mileage by 0.4 percent for every 1 PSI (pound per square inch) drop in the pressure of all four tires. Plus, properly inflated tires are safer and last longer, according to the Department of Energy's http://www.fueleconomy.gov Web site. |
