Save at the Pump!

You might visit Sorrento Mesa Auto Spa for car wash and detailing, but we also have tips for saving gas. Everyone wants to save at the pump, so follow our tips to maximizing mileage:

·         Be mindful of your tank. Stop pumping when the automatic nozzle clicks, as additional gas will spill out or evaporate. Also, be sure to tighten your gas cap. Gas can evaporate if your cap is loose, damaged or missing.

·         Use lower octane gasoline. Premium gasoline doesn’t generally improve your car’s performance or economy so unless your car’s manual states premium is required, don’t waste the money.

·         Park in a garage when possible. Warm weather affects gas mileage by increasing evaporation levels so try to park in a garage or shady area and consider investing in a windshield shade.

·         For optimum performance, get regularly scheduled maintenance. Use the right type of oil and make sure to check your air filter every time you get an oil change. When it is clogged, your engine has to work harder, thus decreasing fuel efficiency.
