To Save Gas Around Chesapeake: Keep Up with Your Scheduled Service

One topic that hits the news in Chesapeake on a regular basis is the price of gas. The answer for some Virginia motorists is to buy a vehicle that gets better fuel efficiency. For those of us Chesapeake motorists who don’t want to add a car payment to our monthly expenses, we need to improve our fuel economy any way we can.

Following recommended service intervals by coming into West Service Center, Inc. is one of the best ways Chesapeake car owners can keep their minivan running efficiently. That means better fuel efficiency. When you give it some thought, it only makes sense. Dirty oil or transmission fluid can’t lubricate or clean. That means more drag which reduces fuel efficiency.

Keeping up with scheduled oil changes and transmission services will save gas for Virginia drivers.

Dirty engine air filters are another efficiency pirate. They rob your truck engine of enough air to effectively burn the fuel, so you need more gas to get the job done. Replacing a dirty air filter can pay for itself in fuel savings before the next oil change.

You can imagine what dirty fuel injectors can do to your van as you drive around Chesapeake. If your truck owner’s manual recommends a fuel system cleaning, come into West Service Center, Inc. and ask us to get it done for you.

A simple, but very effective way for Chesapeake drivers to save gas is to keep their tires properly inflated. Low tires can cost you up to a mile per gallon. Check your tire pressure when you gas up – or at least once a month.
