While gas prices may have gone down from its all time high and have stabled a bit, we are still paying a good sum of dollars every time we visit gas pumps. So whether we like it or not, we need to improve gas mileage to extend that gallon at least a couple of miles more.

Here are some proven and effective ways to improve gas mileage:

While on the road
There are several ways to improve gas mileage while on the road. First, be a sensible driver. Aggressive driving lowers gas mileage by 5 percent in city driving and by 33 percent around town. Avoiding abrupt acceleration, speeding, and excessive braking does not only save you money, it can also save you.

Second, remove excess weight. Heavier load can reduce gas mileage by up to 2 percent every extra 100 pounds of load. So if you don’t need that golf bag or grocery you have left in your car for days, drop it. Take note that gas mileage of smaller cars is more affected by excess weight than bigger and heavier vehicles.

Third, avoid excessive idling. 0 miles per hour gets you 0 miles per gallon. Plain and simple.

Fourth, observe the speed limit. While different cars reach different optimum fuel economy, gas mileage rapidly drops if you are driving above 60mph.

Finally, use cruise control. If you have it, use it. Cruise control will let you maintain constant speed and improve gas mileage.

At the Garage
If you want to improve gas mileage of your car, keep it well-maintained. Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires that are 1 psi lower than the required pressure reduce gas mileage by 3 percent. Also keep your engine tuned and change oil filters regularly. Change oil using the manufacturer’s recommended grade of motor oil. Consult your service advisor or car manual for reference.

Summer is here and with is comes heat, humidity, and lots of sun. Although this time can bring some of the best weather of year for us, your car can become damaged by the sun’s harmful UV rays caused by extended hours of sunlight. Over a period of about six months, usually March-September, your car’s exterior and paint can corrode over this time due to the long periods of sunlight it is exposed to.

Your car’s paint finish breathes and even has pores. In the hot sun the paint’s pores expand and can absorb more dirt and moisture. Imagine having to stay outside all day in the beating sun without any sunscreen or shade. Our skin burns, dries out, and takes days or weeks to heal. Similar to skin, over time the exterior of a car can wear down, fade, peel, and rust when exposed to water. There are preventative steps you can take however, to ensure your paint and exterior lasts to its potential.

There are a many products on the market that you can use to both prevent and treat sun damage. One of the most popular products is a rubbing compound used to polish out blemishes. It’s used to remove fine scratches, oxidation, coarse swirl marks, and water spots. There are also polishes and waxes you can use on a regular basis to prevent sun damage from happening to your car. In the case of extreme sun damage, you can re-paint your car, which costs thousands of dollars.

The interior of your car can also be greatly affected by the sun. The sun is attracted to dark material and can severely damage materials like leather. Collapsible sun shades are the most popular type of interior sun protection. They can significantly decrease the temperature of your car and block harmful sunlight. Car window shades are also popular and can be used while driving.
