At the garage:

* Regular maintenance will keep your vehicle running at maximum efficiency, reducing the fuel you need to buy and the pollutants your vehicle emits.

* Keep your vehicle’s engine well tuned. Worn spark plugs, dragging brakes, low transmission fluid or a transmission not going into high gear can increase fuel consumption substantially.

* Follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your vehicle owner’s manual to maximize fuel efficiency.

* Have any fluid leaks checked by a specialist to avoid engine damage and harming the environment.

* Keep your tires properly inflated to reduce your fuel bill, emissions and tire wear.

* Have your vehicle’s alignment checked regularly to reduce uneven tire wear and fuel consumption.
