Tip: Check your tire pressure and keep your tires properly inflated.
You vastly increase your chances of getting the absolute best gas mileage possible if you make sure to keep tire air pressure at the recommended 35psi. FYI, you can find the recommended PSI for your car on the sticker inside the driver’s door or your Owner’s Manual. If you look into it you will see that proper inflation may translate to saving serious cash.
A dedicated website sponsored by DOE and EPA quotes Carnegie Mellon estimating that the average driver can save$300-500 a year by tweaking tire pressure to the manufacturer-recommended level. That’s a shocking amount! It seems you could get even more miles per gallon by over-inflating your tires, but you may be taking a risk and sacrificing safety by doing so. Over inflation of tires can increase the risk of a tire blow-out, especially while at higher speeds on the interstate, so avoid the temptation to over-inflate.
Most gas stations are now charging for air. Yes, even air has a price these days! So, bring your car into Spiffy’s Car Wash today for a wash or an oil change and let us check the pressure in your tires for you!
