I recently purchased a Ford Kuga and I love it, but I noticed that I'm spending a lot on gas. Are there any tips or modifications that can help improve the fuel efficiency?
ReplyOne simple way to improve fuel efficiency is to keep your tires properly inflated. Under-inflated tires can decrease your gas mileage by up to 0.3% for every 1 psi drop in the average pressure of all tires. Also, consider using a fuel additive like a cetane booster to improve combustion and reduce fuel consumption.
Another thing you can do is to avoid idling. Idling for more than 10 seconds wastes more fuel than restarting your engine. So if you're stopped for more than a minute, turn your engine off. Additionally, make sure to use the correct oil for your Ford Kuga as recommended by the manufacturer, as using the wrong one can increase fuel consumption.
Don't forget to also practice good driving habits, such as accelerating and braking smoothly, as rapid acceleration and braking can decrease fuel efficiency by up to 33% on the highway and 5% in the city. And finally, consider installing a cold air intake or a performance chip to improve the engine's air-to-fuel ratio and increase horsepower.
