Whether it\u2019s going to work, home, school, grocery stores, etc., our cars get us where we\u2019re going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A significant aspect of owning a vehicle is gas mileage. Stopping for gas is as ubiquitous as planning your next meal; filling up both your gas tank and stomach is crucial for success. Just as your body needs fuel to survive, cars need gas to drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what if your car is suddenly guzzling more gas than usual? Are your gas receipts becoming increasingly more expensive? Reduced fuel economy can be caused by several factors, including driving habits, uncontrollable situations, or vehicle issues. Let\u2019s take a dive to learn more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Weather<br><\/strong>When it\u2019s cold outside, your car\u2019s engine needs more time to warm up; therefore, it uses more fuel. Idling your vehicle and letting it warm up before getting in can waste a lot of gas. If you notice more gas usage during the winter, you can probably attribute it to weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Driving Habits<br><\/strong>If you are mostly driving around town, your gas mileage won\u2019t be as high as it is for someone who primarily drives on the freeway. Heavy acceleration, braking, overloading your car, and speeding guzzle more gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Vehicle Issues<br><\/strong>A sudden drop in fuel economy can signal an issue with your vehicle. To avoid physical issues, it\u2019s best to stick to your vehicle\u2019s preventative maintenance schedule via the Owners\u2019 Manual. Problems affecting gas mileage include fuel injector\/pump problems, exhaust system leaks, old\/dirty\/wrong motor oil, worn\/misfiring spark plugs, wheel balance\/alignment issues, or tire problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The experts at Complete Auto Maintenance Center can get your vehicle running efficiently again.
