No one likes having to stop at the gas pump. It takes you out of your way, slows down your trip, and you have to spend money. There are better ways to use your cash, so try these tips in Concord to have a more fuel efficient drive in your Honda.
Tip #1: Pack less
The more weight that's in your vehicle, the more fuel your engine uses because it has to work harder to carry it. Try limiting yourself to only what you need.
Tip #2: Make it one trip
Your engine is the most efficient when it's warm. If you have multiple errands to run, try to do it all in one trip so that your engine doesn't cool off.
Tip #3: Slow down
The faster you go, especially on the highway, the more wind resistance your engine has to power through. That takes more fuel. If you have wiggle room in your schedule, slow down a bit.
Tip #4: Keep your engine clean
A clean engine is an efficient engine because there's less friction. The way you keep it clean is by getting routine oil and filter changes, which remove built up dirt and debris.
If it's time for your Honda to get an oil change (generally, every 3,000 to 5,000 miles), schedule an appointment with the Service Center at Concord Honda. Our skilled technicians can perform routine maintenance, and have you running efficiently on the roads in Walnut Creek, San Francisco, Vallejo, and all over the Bay Area again quickly.
