Road trips are a summer tradition for many families in Oak Ridge. But watching your fuel gauge drop can put a damper on the fun. One simple trick is keeping your tires at the right pressure. When tires run low, your engine burns more fuel than it should. Also, try to drive at a steady pace instead of speeding up and slamming the brakes. Your gas tank will thank you.
Regular maintenance goes a long way, too. A dirty air filter or old oil forces your engine to work overtime. Getting these checked before a trip helps your car run smoother and sip less gas.
