While driving the streets in Coppell, TX you’ve probably seen just how low the gas has dropped in recent months. While this has been a relief on everyone’s wallets, it doesn’t mean you need to stop the savings there. At The Select Insurance Agency, we believe it is important to always stretch your dollar, everywhere from receiving quality auto insurance to your fuel economy. Chances are, there are a few different ways available you can boost your fuel economy without spending much money.

Change the Oil

Always follow through with the recommended oil change dates. A well-lubricated engine performs better, which in turn is going to boost your fuel economy. Having a professional change your oil is recommended, but if you have the time and the parts, this is something you can do without much of an issue.

Air Filter

This is something else you can have the pros do when changing your oil. It is easy to have them just go ahead and do it, but if you’d like to save money, feel free to change the filter yourself. It takes less than a minute and you can pick up an engine air filter for your vehicle for just a few dollars at the local auto parts store.

Vehicle Tune-Up

This one will cost more than the other options out there, but it might boost your fuel economy in a more substantial way. The vehicle tune up starts with inspecting your wires and distributor, replacing anything that might need repairs. It also swaps out your spark plug for a new one. A new spark plug fires better, resulting in a better flame burst and improved fuel economy. Over time, your spark plug can rotate, which reduces the efficiency as well. So, having this done every few years is a great way to boost fuel economy.
