The 90-Day Plan: DAY 34

DAY 34

STAY TUNED

Keep you car(s) TUNED-UP. Properly maintaining vehicle will increase overall efficiently and lifespan. Better mileage means fewer emissions and fewer emissions means a healthier planet.

Check your tire pressure monthly--this keeps your vehicle rolling and ensures the best MPGs.

A dirty air filter can rob your vehicle of power and efficiency--this should be changed every 10,000 miles or so.

Use the proper octane--premium gas isn't for all vehicles, make sure it's right for your vehicle.

The list goes on...

Best of all, the most effective ways to improve your vehicle's efficiency are things you can do with little or no automotive experience.
