In our last post, we shared about the stunning fuel efficiency of the 2017 Toyota Corolla. While not every vehicle can hit that level of fuel economy (40 mpg highway, 30 mpg city!), there are driving techniques that every driver in Somerset can use to boost their fuel efficiency.

  • A cold engine is an inefficient engine. If you have multiple errands to run, don't let your engine cool down! Keep it warmed up by tackling your to-do list in one trip.
  • The faster you go, the more your engine has to work to overcome wind resistance. If you have time, slow down.
  • When you add a bunch of cargo weight, your engine uses more fuel to carry it. Cut down on the extra pounds by packing only what you need.
  • When your engine's dirty, it runs less efficiently because of added friction. Get a routine oil and filter change to clean out any dirt and debris that's dirtying your engine.

If your Toyota is long overdue for an oil change, schedule an appointment for routine maintenance in the Service Center at Toyota of Somerset. Our service technicians will have you back on the Danville, London, Richmond, Oneida, and Lexington roads, driving efficiently in no time. Check out our Service Specials as well. Good luck boosting your fuel efficiency!
