If you’re looking for a few ways to increase the fuel efficiency of your vehicle and also help save the planet at the same time, Exxon Mobile has put out these three tips to help you get the extra miles needed in today’s tough economy and green-focused world. 1.If you keep your car tuned up to the standards recommended by the manufacturer you can expect to attain an increased fuel efficiency of up to four percent per year. If that doesn’t sound like that big of a deal, it averages about 500 extra miles and that is a big deal! 2.If every driver in the US kept their car’s tires inflated to the standards recommended by the manufacturer 700 million gallons of gasoline could be saved each year. How’s that for a big number? You better believe that could have an impact. 3.By using the correct grade and type of motor oil as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, drivers could see an increase in their fuel efficiency by almost two percent. What that means to the average drivers is the equivalent of getting an extra 250 miles per year. Add that to the previous 500 and you’re on your way to a lot of extra miles, wouldn’t you say?
