There are many great things about owning a Cadillac vehicle, but the fact that they require premium gas isn’t really one of them. Heading to the gas station these days can be especially uncomfortable. If you’re looking to cut your costs at the pump, the good news is that some basic Cadillac service and easy changes in your driving habits may both be able to help.
Oil Changes
Fresh and clean oil is vital for ensuring optimal engine performance. Old and thick oil doesn’t supply the moving parts in the engine with adequate lubrication. This results in the engine having to work harder, which means your gas is used up quicker.
Tire Pressure Checks
If you’re having to get gas more often than usual, you should check the air pressure in your tires. When they are underinflated, your fuel economy suffers. And because this can change based on the temperature, this is something you’ll want to keep an eye on monthly.
More Ways to Reduce Your Expenses
In addition to this regular service, there are other things you can do to get more out of a gas tank, such as:
Not Driving So Fast
It’s natural to want to open up your Cadillac vehicle on the highway, but when you push the pedal to the metal, you use up fuel a lot faster. Slowing down is safer and will help save you money.
Not Idling So Much
Do you spend a lot of time just sitting in your car with the engine on? Or maybe you turn it on ahead of time to get the AC going? This causes you to needlessly waste gas.
If it has been a while since your car got an oil change or other maintenance, just make an appointment with the service center at Fields Cadillac St. Augustine.
