If you typically do a lot of driving, fuel costs can add up quickly. Fortunately, you may be able to save money on gas with the right Chrysler service. This should include:
Ensuring Your Tires are Properly Inflated
Two things happen when your tires aren’t inflated to the right psi (pound per square inch). First, your fuel economy suffers, and you will need to go get gas more often. Secondly, low tires also create a safety hazard. This is why you should be checking your psi regularly, about once every month.
Changing Your Oil
To improve your gas mileage, another service you should schedule is an oil change, due every six months or 6,000 miles. When oil gets old, it thickens, which means that the parts in your engine won’t get the right lubrication. When this happens, the engine needs to work harder to perform, which eats up gas at a faster rate.
Upgrade to a New Chrysler Vehicle
While those service tasks can save you money, trading in your gas guzzler may be the better choice. Upgrading to a newer model — or a hybrid or electric vehicle — could end up saving you a substantial amount of money on gas, and at the same time help the environment.
