We're all thinking about fuel efficiency these days, because no one likes to spend more time and money than they need to at the gas pump. That certainly includes Lincoln drivers in Billings. However, there are driving and maintenance techniques you can use to improve your gas mileage. Try some of the following:
- When you speed up, especially on the highway, you encounter extra wind resistance that your engine has to power through. That requires the use of more fuel. If you have time in your schedule, slow down.
- Your engine also requires more fuel to carry the extra weight from packed luggage and cargo. Cut down on the pounds and ease your engine's load by bringing only what you need for the trip.
- Dirt and debris builds up in your engine over time, which reduces your efficiency by causing friction. Have your oil and filter changed routinely to clean your engine, reduce friction, and increase fuel efficiency. The Service Center here at Bob Smith Lincoln, Inc. can easily change your oil, and have you back on the road in no time.
