The Myths of Gas Mileage:

1. Increasing Tire Pressure
Driving on under-inflated tires can cost you 3.75% in fuel economy but over-inflating tires can be dangerous. Over-inflation of tires reduces your grip on the road and could possibly cause an accident. Under-inflating tires is equally dangerous as most tire related accidents and there are roughly 10,000 plus a year in the USA can cause deaths, property damage, missed time at work, property damage, etc. At 106 St Tire & Wheel stores in Queens, now all Napa car care centers, we always offer free tire pressure checks free, tire inspection free. Also, while 3.75% of wasted gasoline doesn’t sound like much, add it up over a year’s time.

It doesn’t sound like much, and maybe it’s not, unless you drive a lot but if everyone did it across the world think about how much gas and emissions we could save. Planet Earth doesn’t need more greenhouse gases. Our kids don’t need more asthma due to the diminishment in the quality of air quality. Our senior citizens with heart and lung problems do not need to be compromised more than they are because we don’t fill the air in our tires properly and does your family need to be involved in the more than 10,000 accidents that result from improperly inflated tires?

Also, times are tough…wasting gas costs you about 13 cents a gallon cents and it adds up over the course of a year. Why give it to the big oil companies? You could treat yourself to a movie at the end of the month or maybe an extra day on vacation at the end of the year.

Come into anyone of our tire and wheel shops in Queens and we will not only check your tires for wear and proper inflation but we will give you a free 47 point safety check FREE… http://www.106sttire.com/locations

2. Turning Off the AC
Our electric bills at home soar when A/C goes on. Does the bottom fall out of your gas mileage when you do the same in your car? Auto testing at Consumer Reports proves that running the AC uses such a nominal amount more in gas. In the larger picture, in stressful times, it’s probably better to run the car A/C when you need to so you won’t be a victim of road rage or fading too early in the day because you’re exhausted from the heat. Remember last summer? UGH! Rolling down your windows can add drag and therefore ruin your gas mileage. For the very best gas mileage, run the fan and keep your windows rolled up.

3. Filling Up When Its Cold Outside Saves Gas
Because the tanks at gas stations are below ground, the gas you buy is always cooler than the air and therefore denser. There are no savings to be had by waiting until the weather’s cool.

4. Pouring Additives
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says bolt on gas saving devices and fuel additives are a complete waste of money.

5. Changing the Air Filter
Consumer Reports tests have shown that with today's computerized cars, clogged air filters don't actually reduce fuel economy. Take care of your car to make it last, of course, but don't look at air filters to reduce your gas expense unless you have an older model. If your car is not a computerized model, keep the air and fuel filters clean to maximize fuel efficiency.

6. Keeping your Engine Running
Bad idea! One that could find you with a summons for polluting the air and it’s, of course, time to think about the environment. OLD THOUGHT: Re-starting a car uses up fuel, so keep the engine idling when possible. That's stale information. Today's fuel-injected vehicles are very efficient and don't waste gas during start-ups anymore. In fact, idling can cost you up to half a gallon of gas an hour, so turn off the engine if you're not going anywhere. If you have an older car that does suck up a lot of gas in starting, turn the ignition off and take the hit. It’s the cost of driving in the modern world and on a fragile planet. And sit idling somewhere and NY's Finest may remind you that's illegal because it pollutes the air and give you a summons as a reminder.

What really saves money on gas? Changing the way you drive:
Stop weaving in and out of lanes and revving the engine so you zoom up to the maximum speed quickly and this can improve your fuel efficiency a staggering 33%!!!! On the highways, keep your speed at 60 mpg and improve your MPG by about 23%! Clean out your trunk and lessen the load and save about 2% on MPG!
