One topic that hits the news in Albuquerque on a regular basis is the price of gas. The answer for some NM drivers is to buy a vehicle that gets better fuel efficiency. For those of us who don’t want to add a car payment to our monthly expenses, we need to improve our fuel economy any way we can.

Following recommended service intervals by coming into Dr J’s Auto Clinic is one of the best ways Albuquerque auto owners can keep their truck running efficiently. That means better fuel economy. When you give it some thought, it only makes sense. Dirty oil or transmission fluid can’t lubricate or clean. That means more drag which reduces fuel economy.

Keeping up with scheduled oil changes and transmission services will save gas.

Dirty engine air filters are another efficiency pirate. They rob your pickup engine of enough air to effectively burn the fuel, so you need more gas to get the job done. Replacing a dirty air filter can pay for itself in fuel savings before the next oil change.

You can imagine what dirty fuel injectors can do to your minivan as you drive around Albuquerque. If your family car owner’s manual recommends a fuel system cleaning, come into Dr J’s Auto Clinic and ask us to get it done for you.

A simple, but very effective way for auto owners to save gas is to keep their tires properly inflated. Low tires can cost you up to a mile per gallon. Check your tire pressure when you gas up – or at least once a month.
