10 Tips for more efficient engine operation 1. Pay attention to how you drive - Do not exceed highway speed limits. Use moderate-to-easy acceleration. Gas mileage is negatively affected by fast acceleration and fast deceleration. Use cruise control on highway trips. Maintaining a constant speed helps reduce fuel consumption. 2. Engine maintenance - Maintain a properly tuned engine. Dirty spark plugs cause reduced horsepower and increased emissions due to minimal spark. 3. Limit reliance on air conditioning - Limit use of air conditioning, especially during hot summer days...the issue here is saving gas, not maximizing comfort. 4. Synthetic lubricants - Switch to synthetic motor oil and synthetic drive-train lubricants. Independent tests show savings of 2% to 5% using AMSOIL synthetic motor oil, gear lubes and automatic transmission fluid. 5. Air filter - To get optimal efficiency from your engine, install a clean air filter as needed. 6. Aerodynamics - Keep windows rolled up at speeds over 40 mph. Opened windows when driving over 40 mph can create wind drag that will reduce mileage. Reduce aerodynamic drag and improve your fuel economy by placing items inside the trunk whenever possible instead of using a roof rack. Open sunroofs also disturb smooth aerodynamic air flow and can reduce mileage. 7. Tire Maintenance - Keep tires properly inflated and balanced while rotating them regularly. Use radial tires for less friction between tire and road. Keep front-end aligned for better mileage and longer tire life. 8. Excess weight - Pack light and clean out your trunk. Every 200 pounds of unnecessary weight shaves 1 mile per gallon off your gas mileage. You would be surprised how much stuff most people carry around in their trunks that they aren't using, adding up to a huge amount of wasted fuel. 9. Minimize Idling - Idling any longer than a minute wastes gas and one minute of idling uses more fuel than restarting your engine. When possible avoid drive-thrus, since idling for as little as 5 minutes can waste up to 3 miles worth of gas. Limit warm-up time to 30 seconds, as excessive idling consumes gas unnecessarily. 10. Plan and combine your trips - Make a list and do all your grocery shopping no more than once a week. Car pool, hike it, bike it or use public transportation if possible and when available.        8 Reasons Why You Need AMSOIL for Whatever  Vehicle You Drive Today’s engines need the extra protection that a premium synthetic motor oil offers.
