Repair or Replace a Defective Gas Cap
 A broken or missing gas cap may seem like a minor issue, but it has far-flung effects relative to fuel efficiency. Without a properly functioning gas cap in place, your car’s gas mileage goes down, and your vehicle may emit harmful fumes that contribute to pollution. Comparatively, repairing or replacing a defective gas cap is a simple fix with a minimal cost that helps increase your vehicle's fuel efficiency.

Maintain Your Tires & Alignment
Maintaining proper air pressure, balancing when necessary, and rotating your tires every 5,000 miles as well as maintaining your vehicle's wheel alignment can contribute to improved fuel mileage. It can also help prevent encountering other costly car repairs. Low tire pressure negatively impacts your car’s fuel efficiency and can lead to premature wear and tear on your tires.

Fill Your Tank in the Morning or at Night

It is typically a good idea to fill your car’s tank when the weather is coldest. This is typically either in the morning or at night. Filling your tank in during the coolest part of the day helps keep fuel dense and limits the impact of afternoon heat on your fuel. In doing so, this practice ensures you can get more gas for the same amount of money you’d otherwise pay to fill up your tank in the middle of the day. Fuel efficiency is critical to get the best results from your car. Take advantage of these tips, and you can improve your fuel efficiency both now and in the future.
