  • Drive the speed limit. It will save you money on gasoline (and tickets!) while extending the life of your vehicle.
  • Use cruise control.
  • Keep your tires at the proper pressure. You will increase your mileage and reduce the possibility of a flat from uneven wear.
  • Don’t accelerate quickly or stop suddenly.
  • Always fully stop before putting your vehicle into reverse or park.
  • Skimp on air conditioning.
  • Don’t idle your car.
  • Regularly check your fluid levels, including oil, coolant, transmission fluid, wiper fluid and power steering fluid.
  • Read your owner’s manual. There is a wealth of information about maintenance with which you should be very familiar.
  • Change your coolant every two to three years.
  • Change brake fluid every year.
  • Have an automatic transmission service done every 50,000 miles.
  • If you have a manual, avoid riding the clutch because touching the clutch pedal unnecessarily can prematurely wear out clutch springs.
  • Avoid oversized tires or other oversized car accessories. They aren’t made to fit your car and therefore have negative effects.
