Improving the Fuel Economy of Your Kia Vehicle

The service staff here at Kia of Irvine is here to help customers understand how they can get better fuel economy ratings from their Kia models. Join our staff today as we explore a few solutions to the fuel economy issues that are plaguing drivers across the Irvine area!
Improving Kia Fuel Economy with Driving Habits
Changing your driving habits is both the easiest and most-effective way to improve the fuel economy offered by your Kia vehicle. Vehicles of all types perform much more efficiently when they are driven responsibly. By this, we mean driving at or near the speed limit and avoid stomping on the accelerator and brake. Trust us, it’s not as cool as you think to burn rubber at stop signs or traffic lights. You can also get better fuel economy from your Kia vehicle by shutting the engine off when stopped at very long lights or while waiting for trains to pass by. Driving with your windows up also reduces aerodynamic drag and improves fuel economy as well!
Improving Kia Fuel Economy with Regular Maintenance
If you are properly maintaining key aspects of your Kia vehicle, it will operate more efficiently as well! Checking the pressure of your tires is a great way to improve fuel economy. If your tire pressure is too high or too low your Kia will use up more energy than when tires are filled to their recommended PSI. Regular oil changes and tire rotations can also help improve fuel economy too. Be sure to purchase the correct fuel for your vehicle and reduce any excess weight it might be carrying to improve fuel economy as well!
