I just bought a new Ford Transit Custom and I want to make sure I am getting the best mileage possible. What are some tips or modifications I can make to improve fuel efficiency?
ReplyCongratulations on your new Ford Transit Custom! One of the first things you can do to improve fuel efficiency is to regularly check and maintain your tire pressure. Under-inflated tires can decrease fuel economy by up to 3%. Additionally, try to avoid unnecessary idling and use cruise control on the highway to maintain a consistent speed.
Hi Jake, great question! Another way to maximize fuel efficiency is to remove any unnecessary weight from your vehicle. This can include items in your trunk or roof rack that may be adding extra weight and causing your vehicle to work harder and use more fuel. Also, make sure to regularly change your air filter for optimal engine performance.
Hey Jake, in addition to the tips mentioned above, try to avoid aggressive driving and rapid acceleration. This can greatly decrease your fuel efficiency. Instead, try to maintain a steady and consistent speed while driving. And don't forget to plan your routes ahead of time to avoid unnecessary detours and traffic!
