Basil Cars offers tips for getting the most miles from a gallon of gas

Basil Cars'  website offers a number of tips to help drivers get the best fuel economy for their vehicles, no matter what they drive.

Getting the best mileage starts with the tires, and maintaining the correct tire pressure is a crucial factor. Under-inflated tires reduce fuel economy and can also become a safety issue, the posting said. If your vehicle has an internal pressure monitor system, check it regularly. Otherwise, check the pressure manually, referring to both the vehicle owner's manual and the information printed on the tire itself to determine proper inflating pressure.

According to Basil Cars, many tests have been conducted to determine the best driving habits to get the best fuel economy. Constant driving speed and acceleration with low engine RPMs is best, amounting to less stress on the engine and the vehicle. In other words, avoid rapid acceleration to speed off from a dead stop.

Regular maintenance also keeps the vehicle in best working condition, which leads to the best fuel economy, the posting said. Changing the oil and rotating tires regularly also aids in getting the best gas mileage.
