Mazda vehicles are highly efficient in the first place, but if you’re looking for some ways to conserve fuel this summer, we’re here to help. The easiest tip we can give is to add a bit of air to your tires and make sure your gas cap is on tight, however, there’s a lot more you can do to ensure this is your most efficient summer ever.

Even a simple oil change or tire rotation at our Peruzzi Mazda service center has the potential to improve your vehicle’s efficiency. If you’re seeing an unusual decline in efficiency, we’ll want to check your spark plugs, air filters, oxygen sensors, fuel injection systems, and tires, which are the most common culprits for parts-related efficiency issues according to carsdirect.com.

Your driving style can also greatly impact the fuel efficiency of your car. Coast when you can and use cruise control on the highway to maintain that efficient sweet spot. Limiting your use of air conditioning will help, too.

This may seem obvious, but taking the shorter route or fewer trips is an easy way to conserve fuel as well. Avoid travelling when you’re going to hit rush hour traffic because your engine idling soaks up more fuel unnecessarily.

Lastly, if there’s any way to make your car more aerodynamic, do it. Removing roof racks and other exterior accessories when not in use will help you combat that extra wind resistance.

We hope you have a fun and safe summer, and don’t forget to pack your sunscreen! If you live near Fairless Hills and have been searching for “car dealerships near me,” Peruzzi Mazda is here and ready to help. Come see us today.
