Rising fuel prices have motorists continually looking for ways to get the most out of every gallon of gasoline.
Here are four fuel economy tips:
1:Regular servicing keeps your vehicle operating at peak efficiency, which maximizes fuel efficiency.
2:Perform routine checks to ensure tire are properly inflated. Underinflated tires can tax fuel economy by as much as 10 percent.
3:Items on roof racks add mass and create aerodynamic drag—both of which lower fuel economy.
4:Don't use lift kits to boost the height of your SUV or pickup. In terms of fuel economy, "generally speaking, lower is better."
