Having high miles per gallon is so much better for your car, and it allows you to save a significant amount of money on fuel, making your car more efficient! There are physical things you can do to your vehicle that will improve the MPG. Car remapping in Luton will tune your vehicle to make it more energy and economically efficient.

A heavy car will weigh it down resulting in the car having to work harder in order to reach the required speeds. If it has to work harder, it uses up a lot of fuel unnecessarily. A way around this would be to remove any irrelevant and unneeded items from your car.     

Ensure that your tyre pressure is correct and if you think the car feels a bit different, get your tyres checked again. Under-inflated tyres will result in the engine needing to use more fuel to allow it to move. Being under-inflated by ten psi per tyre can significantly lower your mpg. 

Cruise control is a wonderful little gadget in some modern cars that allows you to pick a maximum speed. With cruise control on, it won’t allow you to exceed that speed no matter how much you push the accelerator. Cruise control will help you keep a steady speed, avoiding any random accelerations and reducing excessive fuel consumption.  

When driving, dust from the road can be picked up and will start clogging up the engine’s air filter. With the filter having dust built up, it will reduce the efficiency of the car further requiring it to work harder than usual. Avoid dusty roads and monitor the filter to keep it clean and maintain the car running smoothly. If you want to make sure that your engine’s air filter is clean, book in with a mechanic in Luton to check it out.

Air conditioning is a luxury in the summer however it can also be quite expensive. Using the air conditioning will cool down your car efficiently, but it will use up a fair amount of fuel due to it having to work harder to produce cold air. Take this into account when you’re driving in hot seasons, think if you’re driving at high speeds maybe have the windows down, so the car doesn’t have to work as hard.

The smooth, gradual acceleration and steady throttle control will mean that the car isn’t overperforming. Don’t over-rev the car engine as this will cause it to burn fuel unnecessarily resulting in you wasting money.
