Gasoline is convenient. It’s easy to replenish, and it provides a remarkable range. However, gasoline is also getting to be breathtakingly expensive, so it’s worth finding out how to get the most for your money. Let’s see how to maximize the fuel economy in your new 2022 Lexus IS 350. Or any car, for that matter.
Top 5 Ways to Maximize Fuel Economy
We don’t always think about saving gas while we’re driving. There are plenty of other things to think about, including where we’re going and what we’re doing. That said, some little tweaks in thinking and driving habits can go a long way towards saving gas (and money!). Here are some tips:
- Avoid excessive speed. Your car is intended to maximize fuel economy around posted freeway speeds. Anything above can increase fuel consumption up to 20% or more. That adds up quickly!
- Make use of cruise control. Whenever it’s safe to do so, use your cruise control to maintain steady speeds. The IS 350 is equipped with adaptive cruise control, which will help you save gas at reasonable speeds.
- Maintain your vehicle. Proper tire pressure is critical to good mileage. Getting regular oil changes also means your engine can operate with less friction and get better mileage. Keeping your car clean reduces drag, which also affects mileage.
- Use the recommended octane gas. Your car has been engineered to make use of the recommended octane level. Check your car’s manual for the best bet; this information is generally printed inside the gas door of the vehicle, as well.
- Remove roof racks and containers unless in use. Roof attachments can increase drag up to 20%, which can really put a dent in your gas budget.
