Save Fuel While Driving Around Libertyville

It isn’t necessary to buy a new hybrid vehicle to drive in a more eco-friendly manner. While Volkswagen has dedicated itself to producing vehicles that are more and more fuel efficient, an important part of the Think Blue movement involves educating drivers on how to make the most of their Volkswagen’s fuel economy. Here are some tips that drivers can be aware of to maximize the already impressive fuel economy of their Volkswagen vehicle from Libertyville VW:

* Keep an even speed — Rapid acceleration and deceleration burns through fuel a lot faster than keeping a constant pace.
* Drive in the highest possible gear — TDI and TSI engines love running in third gear at 18 mph. Volkswagen vehicles with manual DSG shift into the highest gear automatically, saving up to 20% more fuel.
* Coast downhill — Taking advantage of the momentum of gravity while driving downhill uses no fuel.
* Control the temperature — Using the vehicle’s heat or air conditioning can use up to ½ gallon per 60 miles, so don’t overuse them. Also be aware that heated seats and windows use more fuel as well.

* Keep tires properly inflated — Excess resistance due to poor tire pressure can use up to 15% more fuel than necessary.
* Avoid short trips — A vehicle’s engine uses more fuel when trying to warm up, so the more it has to shut down and restart, the more fuel is consumed.
* Proper oil changes — Regular oil changes using high viscosity, high grade oil keep the engine properly lubed, resulting in lower emissions and higher fuel economy. Drivers can schedule a service appointment at Libertyville VW today.
* Avoid drag — Drag caused by storage bins or equipment on upper racks of the vehicle decreases fuel efficiency.

* Drop weight — Just like drag, excess weight that is in the vehicle’s trunk or hitched onto the back takes a toll on fuel economy.
