Buick GMC Fuel Economy

Are you interested in improving the current fuel economy of your beloved vehicle? Sun GMC of Nassau knows of a few ways to do so, and we are glad to help out our loyal Wantagh, NY drivers by providing these tips. Two simple ways are to keep a steadier pace when driving and to press more slowly on the accelerator.

When it comes to driving pace, many drivers make the mistake of combining drops in speed with sudden moments of acceleration. This is a habit that will result in your car using much more fuel. If you have difficulty keeping a constant pace on the highway, then an advisable solution is to take advantage of cruise control.

Regarding the accelerator, some drivers are not aware of how much extra gas is used up when they choose to accelerate harder. If fuel-efficient driving is your goal, then you should gradually increase your speed over a matter of seconds instead of going “pedal to the metal.”
