How To Increase Your MPG

While estimates for the Volvo XC60 miles per gallon are impressive, we all still want to get a little bit more out of our tanks. Below, we're going to share a few easy tips you can follow to get the most out of your MPG estimates, whether you own a new or pre-owned Volvo XC60 or any other vehicle of any make. These tips aren't limited to any specific model or body style, so you can maximize your MPG no matter what you're driving.

1. Always check your gas cap and seal. If your gas cap is loose/broken or if your seal is broken down, it could reduce the efficiency of how your car uses the gas in your tank. How? This allows extra oxygen to seep into the gas tank while your car is running, which causes the engine to burn gas more quickly. Gas cap repairs are simple and usually under $20, so it's definitely worth it in the long run.


2. Never drive faster than you need to. While you should never drive above the speed limit for obvious reasons, driving just below it actually helps your engine use gas more efficiently.


3. Limit hard stops by coasting for longer. If you know you're coming up to a red light or a stop sign, slowly release your foot from the gas pedal and then coast to a stop rather than hitting your brakes at the last minute.


4. Use cruise control whenever it's safe to do so. It can be hard to maintain the exact same speed during a long highway drive by manually pressing the gas. If you use your cruise control whenever you're in a safe spot to do so, you help your car by not having to use extra gas to adjust to varying speeds when the pressure on your gas pedal changes ever so slightly.


5. Limit the weight in your vehicle. If you're someone who tends to keep a little too much extra stuff in your car, it might be time to rethink that habit. Every item in your car can really start to add up when looking at the total weight. And, the heavier your car is, the more gas it needs to propel all that weight forward. Don't carry more than you need to along with you in the car.
