Saving Gas in your Nissan

As we get closer to the summer travel season, we’re all seeing gas prices climb. While you may not be ready to trade in your old vehicle for a new fuel-efficient Nissan car, there are some things you can do to improve your mileage and save a few bucks at the pump.

Here are some great ways to conserve on gas:

• If possible, you should try to avoid peak traffic hours so that you’ll have less stopping and starting.
• Look into using a credit card or a gas card that gives you rebates when you make purchases, and pay off the balance monthly to avoid interest.
• Make good use of your vehicle’s cruise control when you’re on the highway. You use less gas at a constant speed.
• Inflate your tires properly. If your tires have too much air or not enough, it can affect your gas mileage.
• Keep up on your vehicle maintenance. Oil changes, tune-ups and checkups are an important part of getting good gas mileage.
• Remove extra weight from the trunk of your vehicle.
• Drive slower. You’ll use less gas. Braking and accelerating more slowly will also help.
