TIP 02: CHECK FOR WARNING LIGHTS
A check engine light that stays on will fail inspection, and could signal serious engine trouble. But before you run to the mechanic, make sure that you don’t just have a loose gas cap.
TIP 05: GET THE JUNK OUT OF YOUR TRUNK
Every 100 lbs. of cargo cuts gas mileage 2–3%.
TIP 08: GAUGE TIRE PRESSURE TWICE A MONTH
Over time, all tires lose pressure, compromising fuel efficiency and safety. Find out what your pressure should be by checking your owner’s manual.
TIP 01: SEE THE LIGHT ONCE A WEEK
A minor problem like a non-functioning light is a common cause of inspection failures and unexpected tickets. Check blinkers, brake lights and headlights regularly.
TIP 06: STOP IDLING
Idling gets zero miles per gallon. So if you’re sitting in place for more than two minutes, consider shutting the engine down. This will reduce pollution and save gallons of gas per week.
