To Save Gas Around New Orleans: Keep Up with Your Scheduled Service
September 9, 2015
One topic that hits the news in New Orleans on a regular basis is the price of gas. The answer for some Louisiana car owners is to buy a vehicle that gets better fuel economy. For those of us New Orleans motorists who don't want to add a car payment to our monthly expenses, we need to improve our fuel economy any way we can.
Following recommended service intervals by coming into Boudreaux's is one of the best ways New Orleans car owners can keep their truck running efficiently. That means better fuel economy. When you give it some thought, it only makes sense. Dirty oil or transmission fluid can’t lubricate or clean. That means more drag which reduces gas mileage.
Keeping up with scheduled oil changes and transmission services will save gas for Louisiana auto owners.
Dirty engine air filters are another efficiency pirate. They rob your pickup engine of enough air to effectively burn the fuel, so you need more gas to get the job done. Replacing a dirty air filter can pay for itself in fuel savings before the next oil change.
You can imagine what dirty fuel injectors can do to your sedan as you drive around New Orleans. If your sedan owner’s manual recommends a fuel system cleaning, come into Boudreaux's and ask us to get it done for you.
A simple, but very effective way for New Orleans auto owners to save gas is to keep their tires properly inflated. Low tires can cost you up to a mile per gallon. Check your tire pressure when you gas up – or at least once a month.
