1. Check Your Tire Pressure
For optimal fuel efficiency, your Volkswagen SUV or sedan must always have properly inflated tires. Before any getaways this summer, be sure to check that your Volkswagen's tires have the right tire pressure. The proper tire pressure can often be found in the owner's manual for your car.
2. Replace Air Filters
Clogged air filters are a no-go, especially during hot summer months. If your Volkswagen model has a clogged engine air filter, then your vehicle's engine will work harder and expend more fuel than normal. Take your Volkswagen model to our service center to get its air filters replaced for proper airflow and perfect fuel efficiency for all of your drives in the Bernardsville region.
3. Get Regular Oil Changes
At Paul Miller Volkswagen of Bernardsville, we encourage local drivers to get regular oil changes at our service center for the best overall driving experience possible. Not only will you get great performance with the perfect amount of clean oil under the hood, but you can also enjoy increased fuel savings as you make your way to your next vacation destination.
4. Take Care of Any "Check Engine" Light Issues
Has your vehicle's "Check Engine" light come on recently? If so, it could be a simple fix or an in-depth repair; either way, that could mean serious problems for your Volkswagen's fuel economy. Schedule your service appointment at the service center at Paul Miller Volkswagen of Bernardsville to get your vehicle checked out and have the problem addressed before any road trips.
5. Adopt a Smooth, Consistent Driving Style
Your driving style impacts your fuel economy way more than you probably think. For the best possible fuel savings, we recommend braking slowly when coming to a stop and accelerating gently when taking off from an intersection. By just doing these two things while driving, you can get a noticeably better fuel economy no matter where you go this summer.
