We know that you bought your Mercedes-Benz for the luxurious ride and excellent performance, but fuel efficiency is something that's on everyone's minds in Walnut Creek. Believe it or not, you can improve your gas mileage by utilizing a few driving and maintenance tips:
- We'll start with the one no one likes to hear: slow down a bit. The faster you go, especially on the highway, the more wind resistance your engine has to power through. Slow down to ease the load on your engine.
- Before you pack too much, remember that your engine uses more fuel to carry any extra weight that's in your vehicle. Try to cut down on the pounds by packing only what you need.
- A cold engine is an inefficient engine. If you have a list of errands to run, try to do them all in one trip so that your engine stays warmed up and efficient.
- Dirt and debris can build up in your engine, which causes friction and reduces efficiency. Routinely have your oil and filter changed to keep your engine healthy, clean, and efficient. This is something that the factory trained service technicians in the Mercedes-Benz of Walnut Creek Service Center can take care of for you. Schedule your service appointment online.
A few simple tricks, and you just may see a boost in your fuel efficiency. Happy driving!
