How to Quickly Improve Your Gas Mileage
It doesn't take a rocket scientist (or Barack Obama) to tell us that properly inflating your tires will improve your gas mileage.
According to the Department of Energy, underinflated tires waste up to 3.3% of your fuel costs.
Inflating your tires won't eliminate our energy crisis, but it will reduce your dependance on $4.00 per gallon gasoline.
The key to keeping optimal tire pressure is consistency. You should check your tire pressure at least ONCE A MONTH or EVERY 1,000 MILES.
Sure, it sounds easy. But, do you do it?
You already spend enough money at the gas station. Why let them literally nickel and dime you for air?
A simple tire gauge and an air compressor can actually save you gas money, reduce roadside emergencies and extend your tire's life.
It takes seconds to measure your tire pressure at home with a good tire gauge. And, a portable air compressor in your garage can inflate your tires in mere minutes.
Don't forget your spare tire. Be sure to check it in the Spring and Fall, when outdoor temperature changes can cause dramatic swings in pressure. It doesn't take a rocket scientist (or Barack Obama) to tell us that properly inflating your tires will improve your gas mileage.
