While this has been a relief on everyone&#8217;s wallets, it doesn&#8217;t mean you need to stop the savings there. At&nbsp;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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Change the Oil<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Air Filter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vehicle Tune-Up<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>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.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While driving the streets in Coppell, TX you&#8217;ve probably seen just how low the gas has dropped in recent months.
