How do I improve my Ford Focus's fuel efficiency?

I just bought a Ford Focus and I've noticed that it doesn't get great gas mileage. Are there any tips or tricks I can use to improve its fuel efficiency?

Hi Kimberly, congratulations on your new Ford Focus! One of the best ways to improve your car's fuel efficiency is to maintain proper tire pressure. Under-inflated tires can decrease gas mileage by up to 0.3% for every 1 psi drop in pressure. Make sure to check your tire pressure regularly to ensure maximum fuel efficiency.

Hey Kimberly, another way to improve your Ford Focus's fuel efficiency is to avoid unnecessary idling. Idling for just 10 seconds can use more fuel than restarting your car, so turn off your engine if you're going to be stopped for more than a minute.

Hi there, Kimberly! Using cruise control while driving on the highway can also help improve your Ford Focus's fuel efficiency. It maintains a consistent speed and prevents excessive acceleration which can waste gas. Give it a try next time you're on a long road trip.
