5 Ways to Maximize Your Fuel Efficiency

5 Ways to Maximize Your Fuel Efficiency

Once you bring home the vehicle of your choice from our sales floor, you might be wondering how to maintain the fuel efficiency it initially had. Don’t worry, because Taylor Chrysler Jeep Dodge has prepared this page with five ways you can maximize your fuel efficiency. With gas prices often fluctuating, it might be beneficial for you and your wallet to follow these five simple suggestions we have prepared for you. If you have any questions, you can always contact our dealership. 

Lighten the Load

The first and easiest way to make the most of every fuel trip is to lighten the load on your vehicle. This can be by unloading any unnecessary tools or belongings from the cargo bed or the trunk of your automobile. Have you been carrying along the same bag of clothes meant for the donation bin since last fall? Finally pay your local thrift store a visit or simply put it back in your garage until you have time to drop it off. These unnecessary weights strain your engine, causing you to have a heightened fuel usage than normal. 

The Importance of Routine Maintenance

Ensure your engine is properly lubricated and taken care of by visiting our Service Department for routine maintenance. If your brake pads and rotors are used up, there might be extra strain on the unit when coming to a stop. This burden causes unnecessary force that consumes gas in an inefficient manner. Your engine should also have new oil every six months, or twice a year, along with a new oil filter every second oil change to ensure your motor is not circulating by-product from the combustion process. You can visit our location to perform any of these routine maintenance procedures when your schedule permits. 

Other Driving Tips

When you’re traveling, use GPS and navigation applications that will provide you the most efficient route. The majority of these navigation systems now come equipped with different pathways you can take to get to your destination quickly and efficiently. When you do visit the pump, you should use the fuel grade that is recommended with the original fuel efficiency rating to get the most of every tank. If you’re using a lower grade, you might not be reaching it's maximum potential and using fuel inefficiently. Before you drive off, wait for your engine to properly heat up. This way, your functioning parts will move in a regular fashion and it will not be as strained. If you’re in need of genuine MOPAR parts or fluids, you should contact our Parts Department at Taylor Chrysler Jeep Dodge.

It was a great experience buying a car from Taylor CDJR. The overall experience was the best I’ve had buying a new car. It was the fastest and most upfront With Options and flexibility To get the deal done. Jessica, who initiated contact was wonderful and Brandon was awesome from the first text And Got answers to all my questions. He really made it easy to know what the car value was and worked with me on my trade-in. Highly recommend Brandon if you go to there to get a new car or used car, good guy. Cody, the finance professional laid out everything nice and clear. Tori helped to set up the app and made sure that I didn’t have any questions about the vehicle. I would highly recommend purchasing your vehicle at Taylor CDJR.

Wonderful experience! So kind even after I accidentally emailed the owner Jim, he was more than happy to help. It was a rainy day and they pulled the car inside to check it out without getting soaked. No hidden fees. Cody had the paperwork ready to go when I arrived. I maybe spent an hour total there. I drove 3 hours to buy my dream car and I would do it again in a heartbeat!

Drove an hour to this dealership because of the good reviews and we were not disappointed. Would highly recommend. From the initial call with Ashlyn, from the salesman Cody was exceptional and felt no pressure to buy. Also worked with Craig, who was honest and didn't try to sell on stuff we didn't need. Frank was awesome, spending a good amount of time to go over the cars features and answering all of my questions. Thank you Taylor Jeep
