Are you looking for ways to increase your fuel economy without having to get another new car? Well, Kia’s coming a long way in terms of fuel-efficient vehicles and even electric vehicles, but if you’re not ready to make the switch just yet there are several ways you can increase those MPGs in the vehicle you’re driving now. Check them out!

Don’t speed! It’s illegal, to begin with, and it decreases your MPGs. We all love to go fast on the Northway, but try to stay closer to the speed limit and see how it helps!

When driving on highways, use your cruise control. Speeding creates a lot of accidental acceleration and deceleration – with cruise control on, that’s eliminated. If you stay at a reasonable speed, that’s just the icing on the cake.

Don’t idle your vehicle. Idling not only wastes fuel but harms the environment. Restarting your car uses less gas than just a few seconds of idling, so just think about that next time you double park on Lark Street!

If you have a storage box or rack on your roof, switch to something that serves the same purpose but that’s rear mounted. It helps your vehicle be more aerodynamic, which saves fuel.

Finally, be safe. When you are driving, really focus on safety and being a model driver. When you focus, you’re more likely to drive in a way that maximizes your MPGs. Who knew!
