Fuel Economy Tips for the Winter Season

We know you want to get the most out of your vehicle’s fuel economy, especially during the winter holiday season. That’s why we are eager to share several of our favorite fuel-saving tips with you today! Think about it – short of buying a brand new vehicle that boasts better fuel performance, there are actions you can take to increase efficiency this winter.

The first step that you can take to improve fuel economy is to strategically plan your driving route. If you choose to combine weekly errands with your daily commute, you can even potentially save time and fuel by not idling in stop-and-go afternoon traffic. There are also several apps that you can use to scout out the best and shortest route or even find one that offers the fewest number of stops along the way.

Another thing you can do before hitting the road this winter is to check the pressure in your tires. If your tires are under-inflated, you will experience reduced fuel efficiency. This can even affect your vehicle’s overall safety performance, so it is best to check your tires regularly. When you do hit the pavement, maintain a slow but safe driving speed to squeeze out the best fuel economy for your vehicle.

If you travel the same daily route as your friends, neighbors, or co-workers, you can choose to carpool to save fuel and decrease your crew’s daily driving emissions. A ride-share system can even allow each of you to spend a day or two simply enjoying the ride rather than the hustle and bustle of heavy traffic patterns.

Of course, another way to maximize fuel economy this winter is to purchase a brand new vehicle from Hagans Dodge Chrysler Motors. If you’d like a winter upgrade, stop by our showroom to explore new cars for sale in Morrilton, AR today!
