To Save Gas Around Cincinnati: Keep Up with Your Scheduled Service

February 3, 2016



One topic that hits the news in Cincinnati on a regular basis is the price of gas. The answer for some Ohio car owners is to buy a vehicle that gets better MPG. For those of us Cincinnati auto owners who don't want to add a car payment to our monthly expenses, we need to improve our fuel economy any way we can.

Following recommended service intervals by coming into Tuffy Auto Service Center Cincinnati is one of the best ways Cincinnati car owners can keep their truck running efficiently. That means better MPG. When you give it some thought, it only makes sense. Dirty oil or transmission fluid can’t lubricate or clean. That means more drag which reduces fuel efficiency.

Keeping up with scheduled oil changes and transmission services will save gas for Ohio auto owners.

Dirty engine air filters are another efficiency pirate. They rob your SUV engine of enough air to effectively burn the fuel, so you need more gas to get the job done. Replacing a dirty air filter can pay for itself in fuel savings before the next oil change.

You can imagine what dirty fuel injectors can do to your SUV as you drive around Cincinnati. If your pickup owner’s manual recommends a fuel system cleaning, come into Tuffy Auto Service Center Cincinnati and ask us to get it done for you.

A simple, but very effective way for Cincinnati drivers to save gas is to keep their tires properly inflated. Low tires can cost you up to a mile per gallon. Check your tire pressure when you gas up – or at least once a month.
