Fuel costs are a significant recurring expense for most Raytown drivers. Maintaining your vehicle properly preserves the fuel economy it was designed to deliver, while deferred maintenance allows fuel efficiency to deteriorate progressively. A Auto Express helps Raytown drivers maintain fuel economy through proper service. Tire pressure is the single most easily addressed fuel economy factor. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, requiring more energy to move the vehicle at any speed. Each tire underinflated by 10 PSI increases fuel consumption measurably. Checking tire pressure monthly and maintaining the recommended pressure costs nothing and preserves fuel economy. Air filter condition directly affects fuel economy. A restricted air filter limits the air available for combustion, causing the engine management system to enrich the fuel mixture to compensate. A clean air filter restores the designed air-to-fuel ratio and fuel efficiency. In Raytown's environment with seasonal pollen and urban dust, air filters may need replacement more frequently than the nominal interval suggests.
